Trustee Named to Oversee Lyle Yurko's Practice After NC Lawyer Vanishes
The North Carolina State Bar has appointed a trustee to oversee the practice of a a well-known Charlotte solo practitioner who has apparently vanished.
Neighbors haven’t seen Lyle Yurko for weeks and it’s possible he may have moved to Vietnam, where he married a woman a couple of years ago and has spent a significant amount of his time, reports News Channel 36.
Some clients may not even know that they are now apparently unrepresented, and trustee Fredrick Winiker is urging them to make contact, reports WSOCTV.
“I’m sure people have run into problems already, and we’re trying the best we can. It’s like being left on an operating table, and that’s what the bar is trying to do is to make sure those people are taken care of,” Winiker tells WSOC.
