Discipline Summaries
November 2, 2000 THOMAS EDWARD KENT [#107238], 44, of Encino was suspended for 18 months, stayed, and placed on three years of probation with an actual 45-day suspension. The order took effect Nov. 2, 2000. Kent stipulated that he practiced law while he was suspended for two months in 1997. He sent letters and bills, filed documents and made court appearances.The discipline was the result of failure to perform legal services competently, return fees or account for client funds, and entering into a prohibited business transaction.In mitigation, Kent was not sober when he signed the stipulation with the bar in 1997, and did not understand he had to pay all disciplinary costs before being reinstated. After leaving an in-patient drug treatment facility, he worked for a woman who owned a paralegal service, but apparently was unaware he was still suspended.Kent’s mother died and he supports his father, who is paralyzed as the result of a stroke. He attends regular Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and remains sober. |
