Discipline Summaries
November 30, 1997 VIVIEN T. SASAKI [#108658], 39, of Montrose was suspended for 60 days, stayed, and placed on probation for one year, effective Nov. 30, 1997. She was ordered to pass the MPRE. In 1995, Sasaki entered into an agreement in lieu of discipline with the State Bar, but she failed to take and pass the CPRE by Dec. 16, 1996, as required. In addition, Sasaki and her attorney husband Matthew Dean Soule [#108656] (see next discipline case) borrowed $40,000 from a couple during a period in which Sasaki was representing the wife in a personal injury matter. Sasaki neglected to obtain a written consent for the loan and advise the couple in writing that they had a right to seek advice from independent counsel regarding the loan. Effective Jan. 1, 1994, Sasaki went on inactive status and was ineligible to practice law. However, she continued to maintain a telephone directory listing as “Sasaki and Soule†through February 1995. In 1990, Sasaki failed to perform legal services for a client who hired her to represent him in a fraud action. Sasaki’s prior discipline-free record was not given any weight in mitigation because of her failure to complete conditions attached to her agreement in lieu of discipline. However, mitigating weight was given to her poor health during the period of her misconduct. She has been disabled by extreme hypertension, migraines and internal bleeding, resulting in several hospitalizations since September 1995. In addition, Sasaki enrolled for the MPRE after she was notified that the CPRE would be discontinued. |
