July 28, 2005 HELEN LOUISE DELANEY [#105560], 48, of Los Angeles was disbarred July 28, 2005, and was ordered to comply with rule 955. In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court found that Delaney failed to comply with rule 955 of the California Rules of Court. She did not submit to the Supreme Court an affidavit stating that she notified her clients and other pertinent parties of her suspension from practice. Failure to comply with rule 955 is grounds for disbarment.In the underlying matter, Delaney commingled personal funds in her client trust account, wrote a check against insufficient funds in the account and did not cooperate with the bar’s investigation. Her actions involved moral turpitude.November 15, 2003 HELEN LOUISE DELANEY [#105560], 47, of Los Angeles was suspended for 18 months, stayed, actually suspended for 60 days and until the State Bar Court grants a motion to terminate the suspension, and she was ordered to take the MPRE. If the actual suspension exceeds 90 days, she must comply with rule 955 and if it exceeds two years, she must prove her rehabilitation. The order took effect Nov. 15, 2003. In a default proceeding, the bar court found that Delaney commingled personal funds in her client trust account, wrote a check against insufficient funds and did not respond to a bar investigator's inquiries about the matter. The court also found that writing the bad check involved moral turpitude.Delaney has no record of discipline in 18 years of practice. |
