Discipline Summaries
June 20, 2012 LEON RUBIN LAUFER, 60, of Beverly Hills was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years of probation with a five-month actual suspension and he was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. The order took effect June 20, 2012. Laufer stipulated that he pleaded no contest to a single count of accepting fraudulent claims against insurers. The charge resulted from an employee paying an individual to refer personal injury cases to Laufer’s law firm over a one-year period. Although Laufer did not authorize the payment and was not aware of it, his failure to adequately supervise the employee allowed the situation to occur. He paid restitution of $60,000 and performed the required community service.In a second matter, Laufer negotiated a settlement in a personal injury case but did not pay an ambulance lienholder. He acknowledged he may have told the client the bill was paid, but because of a dispute over the amount, he stopped payment. The bill never was paid and the client faced a collection action. Laufer stipulated that he failed to pay out client funds.Laufer was disciplined in 1993 for mishandling client funds and committing an act of moral turpitude. In mitigation, he cooperated with the bar’s investigation. |
