The Missouri Supreme Court on Tuesday reinstated the bar license of former St. Louis Mayor and workers’ compensation claimants’ attorney Freeman Bosley Jr.

Freeman Bosley Jr.

Bosley admitted after his license was suspended in 2014 that he merged clients’ funds with his personal accounts and failed to keep adequate records, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Injured worker Eugene Willingham sued Bosley in May for $25,000 in damages for allegedly failing to properly represent him in a workers’ compensation case he ultimately lost. The lawsuit is pending.

Another worker sued Bosley and his firm, Bosley & Associates, in 2013 for allegedly missing a deadline for filing a workers’ comp claim. The lawsuit eventually was dismissed, the newspaper reported.

A Democrat, Bosley served as mayor from 1993-97.
