Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2006.
Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2006
updated on 01/20/2016This 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.
Stephen’s comment:
“The discipline involved a rule violation. The action resulted in a 30 day suspension because of the prior record from years before. There was no moral turpitude and the attorney fully cooperated with the State Bar, stipulating to the discipline”
Public reproval with/duties issued in CA, 1998
updated on 11/11/2013A censure or reprimand issued by the Supreme Court or the State Bar Court that is not a matter of public record unless imposed after the initiation of formal disciplinary proceedings. No period of suspension is imposed. The reproval may be imposed with duties or conditions.
Stephen’s comment:
“The reproval involved a minor infraction which had to be reported under the rules of professional misconduct. The misconduct was not moral turpitude and the attorney fully cooperated with the State Bar, stipulating to the reproval.”
