Discipline Summaries
November 26, 2009 NORMAN CHARLES NEWHOUSE [#104746], 67, of Redwood City was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years of probation and until he makes restitution and he was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, he must prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect Nov. 26, 2009. Newhouse stipulated to four counts of misconduct in a matter in which he was hired to collect a $250,000 judgment for a client. After filing a motion to place a lien on the other party’s home in order to enforce the judgment, he learned the judgment had been discharged in bankruptcy.The client was unaware of the bankruptcy and also assigned the debt to a collection agency. Newhouse determined that the client had not been properly served with notice of the bankruptcy, and he refused to withdraw the lien as the debtor’s lawyer had requested. Newhouse eventually settled the matter for $6,000 but the client objected to the amount and complained about Newhouse to the State Bar. He did not give any money to the client and closed his trust account after letting the balance fall below the required amount.He told the bar the client’s share of the settlement was still in his trust account “because she told me she did not want it.†He also wrote a check against insufficient funds in the account and commingled funds.Newhouse stipulated that he misappropriated client funds and failed to maintain them in trust, commingled funds and committed an act of moral turpitude by writing a bad check.In mitigation, he had family problems at the time of the misconduct, a neuro-psychiatrist believes his conduct was related to his personal issues and he presented evidence of his good character. |
