EXCLUSIVE: Bill Cosby’s Ex-Lawyer Monique Pressley Denies Claims She’s Suspended For Misappropriating Client Funds: The Allegations Against Me Are Unequivocally Not True

Monique Pressley, who notably represented Bill Cosby in the earlier days of claims against him, has EXCLUSIVELY spoken with theJasmineBRAND on allegations against her.

It was previously reported that Monique Pressley has been suspended indefinitely amid lawsuits against her from a handful of former clients. The said clients claim that she allegedly stole thousands of dollars from them that were supposed to go into an escrow fund, and used the money for personal use such as depositing funds into her husband’s business account.

Monique Pressley told theJasmineBRAND in a statement Friday (Jan. 17),

“The allegations against me of impropriety are unequivocally not true. The claim that my suspension due to disability is because of the allegations made against me is false.”

She went on to point that she’s never faced such allegations in her more than two decades of being a lawyer.

In the 22 years I have been practicing law, I have not once been disciplined by the bar for improper conduct—not a suspension, not even a letter of reprimand. As soon as I am able, I look forward to the opportunity to defend against these charges.”
