A former lawyer in B-C has been suspended for six months and ordered to pay more than 4-thousand dollars for sexually harassing a client.
The Law Society of B-C says William James Heflin made "unwelcome comments, advances and physical contact" with a client during an October 2020 meeting at the Victoria courthouse.
The Law Society says Heflin was representing the female client in a family law matter from 2017 to 2020.
According to the Law Society tribunal's decision, Heflin is no longer a member, is not currently seeking reinstatement as a lawyer, and will see his suspension begin on the first business day after he is reinstated if he chooses to reapply.
