Former BC lawyer Rene Joan Gantzert disbarred again for misusing client funds, totaling over $80,000.

Former BC personal injury lawyer Rene Joan Gantzert has been disbarred for a second time after misusing $18,200 from a client's ICBC claim settlement. In 2017, Gantzert settled a client's claim without informing them, and the misconduct was discovered six years later. This follows his 2023 disbarment for misappropriating over $62,000 from another client's trust funds. Gantzert did not attend the disciplinary hearing, and his whereabouts are unknown. The Law Society of BC did not disclose if they informed the police about the cases.
