Edgartown attorney Edward W. (Peter) Vincent Jr. is facing legal action after the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals filed suit in superior court, “concerned that Mr. Vincent has absconded with its money.”
At issue is a sum of nearly $200,000 due to the MSPCA from the proceeds of a $950,000 real estate sale in January.
The MSPCA hired Mr. Vincent to handle the sale of a veterinary clinic building and cottage on the Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road, where for 50 years it had operated an animal shelter.
