Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2025.

Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2025

updated on 04/03/2025

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.

Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2014

updated on 07/09/2016

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.

William’s comment:

“Based on unlawful contempt citation by federal judge who pursued state discipline despite reversing the contempt. There were state and federal appeals. SCOTUS did not hear void for vagueness and substantive due process Constitutional challenges in appeals. Rule of Law forces attorney to accept result despite errors of federal and state actors. All vigorous litigators run risk of contempt by trial judges but this was first ever in my career.”

Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2011

updated on 07/09/2016

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.

William’s comment:

“Arose out of fee dispute with former client in litigated commercial property foreclosure. Litigation settled in 2007 but client defaulted again in 2008 and lost property. Fee dispute arose after that and had nothing to do with client's prior defaults dating to 2006. Entire fee never collected despite vigorous work efforts. Attorney also appealed in this matter.”

Private reproval, public disclosure issued in CA, 1989

updated on 07/12/2016

Private reproval, public disclosure means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar warns the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

William’s comment:

“Incident attorney regrets.”
