Discipline Summaries
April 17, 2009 ROGER ALAN STRONG [#106390], 55, of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam was disbarred April 17, 2009, and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20. The State Bar Court found that Strong failed to comply with probation conditions attached to a 2006 disciplinary order — more than a year late, he filed with the court an affidavit stating that he notified his clients, opposing counsel or other pertinent parties of his suspension from practice. Failure to comply with rule 9.20 is grounds for disbarment.In the underlying discipline, the bar court found that Strong failed to maintain client funds in trust or notify a client of his receipt of funds, and he committed acts of moral turpitude by misappropriating client funds, making misrepresentations to the insurance company and signing his client’s name to a check.In recommending his disbarment, Judge Richard A. Platel wrote, Strong “has demonstrated an unwillingness to comply with the professional obligations and rules of court imposed on California attorneys although he has been given the opportunity to do so.â€March 31, 2006 ROGER ALAN STRONG [#106390], 52, of San Diego was suspended for three years, stayed, actually suspended for two years and until the State Bar Court grants a motion to terminate the suspension, and he was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 955. The order took effect March 31, 2006. In a personal injury matter, Strong received a $2,400 settlement draft for his client and deducted $800 as his fee and another $800 to pay the client’s medical bill. The client received $800. Without informing the client, Strong twice wrote to the insurance company and said the client had paid the doctor $1,694 in out-of-pocket medical expenses. He knew the doctor had received only $800. He asked the insurer to reimburse the larger amount with a check payable to the client and Strong. The insurer sent a check for $1,694 that Strong endorsed; he also signed his client’s name. He misappropriated the entire amount.When the client learned about the money, he complained to the State Bar. Strong reimbursed the money, plus another $236.In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court determined that Strong failed to maintain client funds in trust or notify a client of his receipt of funds, and he committed acts of moral turpitude by misappropriating client funds, making misrepresentations to the insurance company and signing his client’s name to a check.In mitigation, Strong has no prior record of discipline and he made restitution with interest. |
