Probation means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
Ridge's comment: “I changed banks in 2012, and a check from the trust account (client funds) mistakenly went out on the old account, causing an overdraft. The mistake was corrected immediately, but a State Bar audit did find other mistakes in my account reconciliations. No client funds were lost or taken, every client received all money due to them, no clients complained to the Bar about their money or the account, and the Bar did not find any selfish or dishonest motive in my actions.”
