Disbarment; falsehood; misuse of court procedures; dilatory tactics; collaborating with non-lawyers




CONRADO N. QUE vs. ATTY. ANASTACIO E. REVILLA, JR., A.C. No.7054, November 11, 2014

“x x x.

Additionally, disbarment is merited because this is not the respondent’s first ethical infraction of the same nature. We penalized him in Plus Builders, Inc. and Edgardo Garcia versus Atty. Anastacio E. Revilla for his willful and intentional falsehood before the court; for misuse of court procedures and processes to delay the execution of a judgment; and for collaborating with non-lawyers in the illegal practice of law. We showed leniency then by reducing his penalty to suspension for six (6) months. We cannot similarly treat the respondent this time; it is clear that he did not learn any lesson from his past experience and since then has exhibited traits of incorrigibility. It is time to put a finis to the respondent’s professional legal career for the sake of the public, the profession and the interest of justice.

X x x.”
