Discipline Summaries

October 21, 2001

GEORGE RICHARD ROYLSTON [#101918], 46, of Tucson, Ariz., was disbarred Oct. 21, 2001, and was ordered to comply with rule 955.

Roylston lost his license for misconduct committed in Arizona which would warrant his disbarment in California. He was disbarred in Arizona in 2000 and was ordered to make restitution to 12 clients totaling more than $76,000. He committed misconduct in 24 cases.

Had the misconduct been committed in California, the State Bar Court found, it would have involved 15 instances of failure to communicate with clients, 13 counts of failing to perform legal services competently, five acts of misrepresentation, dishonesty and misappropriation of client funds, seven instances of failing to return client files, and five instances of failing to refund unearned fees and engaging in the unauthorized practice of law.

Roylston also failed to render appropriate accounts to clients, maintain funds in a client trust account, comply with court orders or cooperate with the bar’s investigation, and he improperly withdrew from representation and represented conflicting interests.

He defaulted in both Arizona and California.
