    Atty. Salvado gained the trust of Engel Paul Aca to invest in his business by promising a high return and claiming he would not jeopardize his reputation as a lawyer. Aca invested but the checks Salvado issued bounced. Salvado reassured Aca his investment would be returned but then ignored Aca's calls. When Aca confronted Salvado at his home, Salvado's staff gave wrong information at his instruction to conceal his location. Salvado was found to have violated Canons 1.01 and 7.03 requiring honesty and prohibiting dishonesty as the bounced checks, lack of transparency in the investment, and instructing staff to conceal him showed dishonest conduct. Salvado was suspended from law

    A.C. No.

    10952
    ENGEL PAUL ACA, Complainant,
    vs.
    ATTY. RONALDO P. SALVADO, Respondent.

    Issue: Whether or not Atty. Salvado violated the Canon 1.01 and Canon 7.03
    Facts: Atty. Salvado gained Aca’s trust in investing in his business when he promised a very
    high return saying that he would not put his reputation as a lawyer on the line. Aca invested and
    as a consideration of this investment, Salvado issued several postdated checks and upon its
    presentation in the bank, these are from an account which has insufficient funds. Aca complained
    to Salvado and Salvado reassured him that everything will be fine and his investment will to him
    in time. However, as time passed by, Salvado ignored Aca’s calls and inquiries about the said
    investment. Eventually, Aca went into Salvado’s home for confrontation but Salvado’s staffs
    gave out a wrong information which was instructed by Salvado. When Aca was about to leave
    Salvado’s home, A red car pulled up which contained Salvado and they talked out the
    investment. Salvado reassured that the investment will be returned.
    Decision: Yes. Atty. Salvado violated Canon 1.01 and Canon 7.03. The issuance of the bounced
    checks and non-transparency in the investment made constitutes dishonesty. Moreover, when
    Salvado instructed his staffs to conceal his whereabouts is also dishonesty. As in Canon 1,
    lawyers should uphold a good moral character and always observe honesty. Salvado clearly
    violated those. Hence, Salvado was suspended in practice of law for 2 years.
