This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2021.
Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2021
updated on 11/22/2022
This sanction means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
Galen's comment: “I was disciplined by the State Bar for conduct unrelated to my obligations as a lawyer. I was involved in a fight with a stranger in a restaurant parking lot. I pled guilty to assault which resulted in Bar discipline. I am very sorry for my actions which were wrong. The discipline resulted in Avvo reducing my rating of 10 which I had for over 20 years to 7.3. I do not feel that it is appropriate to reduce a rating based on conduct unrelated to the practice of law, but I guess avvo knows best.”

updated on 07/16/2021
