Wayne State Law Professor Peter Henning commented about accusations that Brenda Braceful, deputy director of the Detroit Law Department, misappropriated client funds from a client when she was in private practice. If she is found guilty of professional misconduct at a disciplinary hearing next month, legal experts said, she could lose her license to practice law, preventing her from continuing as a $110,000-a-year appointee of Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Henning said misappropriation of client funds is the worst offense a lawyer can commit adding that failure to protect a client\'s money is a major breach of the client\'s trust.
