About
In a consent agreement with the society issued May 20, Lees admitted he committed professional misconduct and agreed not to change his practice status from non-practising to practising, unless he is employed as Crown Counsel with the BCPS or otherwise only with the permission of the society. The society said Lees’ billing practices were consistent with the direction he was given in the late 1990s and early 2000s but “became untenable when the volume of his federal agency work increased substantially.” Beginning in 2003, Lees billed the federal service through his local firm J.M. LeDressay and Associates for travel time to and from court, even though he was already required to be there as a BCPS prosecutor, according to the agreement.
