Discipline Summaries
May 22, 2013 RICK L. RAYNSFORD [#105157], 56, of Mission Viejo, was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years' probation with an actual 60-day suspension and ordered to take the MPRE. The order took effect May 22, 2013. Raynsford stipulated to three counts of misconduct in three client matters: failing to return unearned fees and two counts of improper withdrawal from employment. Two of the cases occurred after a non-lawyer approached Raynsford about going into business together to do home loan modification work, leading Raynsford to start the Oxford Dunn Law Group. Unbeknownst to Raynsford, the non-attorney began taking clients under Oxford's name. Once he learned what was happening, Raynsford immediately shut down the business and disassociated himself from the non-attorney. Raynsford then set up another company to help former Oxford clients whose files had been abandoned by the non-attorney. But Raynsford shut down that business before completing work on two of those clients’ cases.In mitigation, Raynsford had no other discipline in more than 26 years of practice, was candid with the State Bar in discipline proceedings and demonstrated remorse for his actions. |
