Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2004.
Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2004
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.
Donald’s comment:
“This discipline occurred more than 10 years ago when the State Bar placed me on inactive status for not completing my educational credits in 2002. During the time I was on inactive status, I signed up some clients by mistake so they suspended me for 30 days. NO clients were harmed and all three clients were given a FULL and complete refund.”
