Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2011.

Discipline, Probation; no Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2011

updated on 09/19/2019

This sanction means the attorney had a suspension placed on hold (and ultimately removed) by complying with certain requirements.

Julius’s comment:

“Accepted voluntary discipline after admitting that I had relied upon good friend who referred to me the 3 clients who were her friends. They complained about my delay on their cases. All other clients notified directly by me. I later discovered those 3 where never properly notified by agent. Lay in bed 7 months in chronic sciatic condition until I received the second of two back operations with Kaiser approval. Now I am considered disabled and have mobility problems, but continue to work.”
