July 13, 2006 MARC STEPHAN FELDMAN [#108293], 48, of Los Angeles was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on three years of probation and was ordered to prove his rehabilitation and take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect July 13, 2006. In a 1999 burglary of Feldman's home, cash, a ring, a leather jacket and four paintings were stolen. He made an insurance claim for $24,900 after telling his estranged wife, who purchased most of the items, to be vague and provide misleading information about their true value.The wife provided far lower values for the stolen items and the insurance claim was denied. Feldman stipulated that he advised someone to violate the law.He then sued the insurance carrier, but the court granted summary judgment. Feldman filed for reconsideration, but he was sanctioned $2,990 for filing a motion that was not grounded in fact nor warranted by law.Although he paid the sanction to the insurer, he did not inform the bar.In mitigation, he has no prior discipline record and he was going through a bitter custody battle at the time. |
