Yes, I agree, you are confused. It says deposited into a trust account at the bank. Nowhere does it say that Petar was the payee.

Who was the drawer of the check?

It looks more like the attorney was supposed to hold the funds in trust, in escrow, until she paid off ALL debts, with the balance to go to Petar AFTER that was done. (see her posts). That would comport with typical escrow arrangements. A closing attorney is not supposed to give a client a check until all obligations are paid, e.g., taxes, secured debts, liens, and agreed payments.

She apparently breached that trust, and hence feelings that she had to resign from the bar.

That's just speculation on my part but that's what it seems to be. Maybe she will appear tomorrow with a better story.
