Upon reflection, I am amazed that Mr Brinson wouldn't simply write a check to make a bad business deal go away. He should know that there are serious repercussions in taking clients money or any money. If that had been me, I would have paid the agrived party and realize that we sometimes make a bad business decision and we must pay for it. Mr Brinson appears to be a very ignorant man.

Don't get it - endangering a law career and reputation for $2,500.
As someone who actually knows Corey, I can attest that the facts around his suspension are not being accurately depicted. Corey ran a very successful practice that was not founded nor supported by taking meager funds ($2500 from clients).
Once again you scooped the Courant. That waste of a reporter's salary Jenna Carlesso has shown once again she is a regular reader of your blog to steal stories. Come on Jenna, less than 24 hours after Kevin posts about Corey Brinson, you post it as breaking news, really? Do you or the Courant have any pride or integrity when a blogger can beat you regularly?

That said, Corey was not in the business of stiffing clients for $2500... His present troubles arise from a long term Client who proved to be less than above board in regards to his business dealings. Corey would not trade a license that he spent years earning and netted him high profile cases and large amounts of money for $2500. That is pocket money

11:55am I think that there are plenty of other attorney's that are a thorn in the side of the courts and prosecutors, much more than Brinson. Why aren't they being singled out also? I think Brinson's mess has been a creation of his own doing an no one else.

Much more about Brinson will soon come out. The Brinson investigation was well underway long before June of this year.

Something smells fishy here. So a civil suit for $2,500 is grounds to lose your license? Who is the character that is filing the complaint? I googled him and nothing comes up...interesting. And it seems to be great timing for him to possibly lose his license considering the Brinson is filing huge lawsuit against the Hartford Police. Sounds like a scare tactic by the HPD or the city to get off the case. Brinson drives around town in a Bentley and has a huge mansion, $2,500 sounds like a drop in the bucket to him. Well I guess well have to see what the board decides to do. I personally hope they drop the suit and let the man keep his license, he has many clients who are depending on him.
Disbarment is the least of his problems. And do you really think the lawsuit will go away just because Brunson does? A trustee would be appointed if Brinson is removed to deal with his sleazy practice

I would've liked to see Cory excel and do well for years. It's so sad to me that he flushed it all down the drain. Hang in there my brother.

That flamboyant behavior is most likely what drew the Feds attention in part. Corey won't need social media for a couple years where he is going. As a good Republican, remember to say hello to John Rowland when you arrive.

Oh please, don't play the race card with respect to Brinson. If he has co-mingled and outright taken client monies, the dude will need to get acustom to spreading his bubba cheeks for Vito on the top bunk.
As for the slim bucket of a client he has who deserves to have bit the bullet, that law suit doesn't go away just because Corey doesn't stop at on Boardwalk and his directly to jail. As much as his client deserves six feet of dirt ver his boots, the police who stepped on his fave deserves to join him since it will cost Hartford dearly for this transgression. This is why we need better screening of police cadets.

In terms of corruption, it would appear highly unlikely that the grievance counsel for the state of Connecticut could be influenced by HPD to pursue an investigation. To earn a presentment like Attorney Brinson now faces, the complaint must survive a rigorous review and vetting process in front of the bar committee to determine probable cause.

If the bar counsel is chasing someone, it's generally because cause exists.
