April 2, 1997 ARTHUR BEVIS HAMPTON [#105756], 40, of El Monte was suspended for six months, stayed, placed on probation for one year, and was ordered to take the MPRE within a year. The order took effect April 2, 1997. Hampton was charged with misconduct in two cases. He represented a defendant in an insurance subrogation matter, but failed to appear for trial. As a result, the court entered a $16,424 judgment, plus costs, against his client. Hampton did not notify his client of any of the developments. He also failed to perform legal services for a client in a personal injury case after the client rejected all settlement offers. He effectively withdrew from representation without notifying his client. Hampton has no record of discipline since his 1982 admission to the bar. |
