Disbarred Calgary lawyer Ronverg Mendoza was convicted of fraud after pleading guilty to forgery in actions that his former client said greatly delayed the family court process and caused him to miss out on parenting time with his child.

Mendoza entered the guilty plea on Jan. 15, with Justice Ryan Anderson hearing how Mendoza forged court emails and documents and lied multiple times to his then client, Gord Weston. The court heard how these actions led to court delays that prevented Weston from spending time with his youngest daughter.
