Discipline Summaries

August 8, 2013

MARSHA NOREEN HONDA [#100894], 56, of Fort Walton Beach, Fla., was disbarred August 8, 2013 and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court.

Honda was disbarred after her default was entered for failing to respond to charges that she had violated the conditions of her probation and failed to comply with a court order. Rule 5.85 of the Rules of Procedure allows the State Bar to seek to disbar an attorney if he or she does not move to set aside the default within 180 days. Also, the charges are deemed admitted.

Honda failed to submit specified quarterly reports to probation and failed to declare compliance with her underlying criminal probation in those quarterly reports.

Honda has two prior cases of discipline. In 2009, she was suspended following her conviction for carrying a concealed firearm, which stemmed from an incident in which she discharged a firearm at an inhabited dwelling. The following year, her probation was revoked after she did not obtain an examination of her mental and physical condition with respect to her mental health issues from a qualified practitioner provide the probation office with the necessary waivers and access to her medical records.

September 26, 2010

The probation of MARSHA NOREEN HONDA [#100894], 54, of Fort Walton Beach, Fla., was revoked, she was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on three years of probation with at least a one-year suspension and until she meets a probation deputy and provides access to her medical records, and she was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, she must prove her rehabilitation. The order took effect Sept. 26, 2010.

Honda violated probation conditions attached to 2009 disciplinary order that addressed her mental health issues. She did not obtain an examination of her mental and physical condition with respect to her mental health issues from a qualified practitioner and didn’t provide the probation office with the necessary waivers and access to her medical records.
