March 18, 2016 REYNALDO L. OCHOA [#103771], 71, of Orange, was disbarred March 18, 2016 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court and make restitution. Ochoa failed to respond to a notice of disciplinary charges, and his default was entered. Because he made no effort to have the default set aside or vacated within 90 days as required under rule 5.85 of the State Bar’s Rules of Procedure, he was disbarred and the charges against him deemed admitted.In a single client matter, Ochoa failed to return any portion of $1,300 in unearned fees to a client, file a substitution of attorney, file a motion to vacate or set aside a default on behalf of his client or cooperate in a disciplinary investigation.Ochoa was ordered to pay $1,300 plus interest in restitution.He had two prior records of discipline. In 1990, he was privately reproved for failing to perform legal services with competence. In 1992, he was publicly reproved for again failing to perform legal services with competence or to communicate. |
