In August of 1991 , the Honorable Mickey D. Wilson , Bankruptcy Judge , heard the fee application of respondent and his law firm for legal services performed for the Trust.The judge also addressed the claims of the Trust for transition costs incurred as a result of respondent's resignation as trustee and counsel for the Trust.Although Judge Wilson commended respondent and his firm for the legal services provided to the Trust , he punished respondent for his involvement in the Basco purchase by reducing the fee application by $91 , 576.00.That amount represented the attorney's fees directly attributable to respondent.Judge Wilson also entered judgment against respondent and Bell for $28 , 977.00 , which represented the amount spent for accounting made necessary by what the judge deemed was respondent's wrongdoing.
