November 15, 2015 VINCENT J. QUIGG [#108932], 60, of Long Beach, was suspended from the practice of law for six months and ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. He was also placed on two years’ probation and faces a two-year suspension if he does not comply with the terms of his disciplinary probation. The order took effect Nov. 15, 2015. Quigg waited 13 months to pay $1,742.18 to cover a client’s medical lien. He also continued to represent more than one client in a matter in which the interests of the clients conflicted without the informed written consent of each client, charged an excessive and illegal attorney’s fee from the father and children to represent them in an action against a healthcare provider and disbursed $176,820 in settlement funds to the father without notifying the children of the receipt of the funds or that he made the disbursement.In addition, in April 2014 he was found guilty of corporal punishment to a spouse, a misdemeanor. The conviction stemmed from an August 2013 incident in which he head-butted his wife in the face during an argument after drinking.In mitigation, Quigg entered into a pretrial stipulation with the State Bar, showed remorse, presented evidence of his good character and mistakenly believed the father was acting as the family’s representative when he disbursed the funds to him.He had two prior suspensions. One was in 1993 for failing to perform services competently on three occasions for different clients and failing to promptly return unearned fees and the client file upon withdrawal of representation. The second was in 2005 for failing to perform services competently or supervise his non-attorney staff in two client matters.September 22, 2005 VINCENT J. QUIGG [#108932], 49, of Long Beach was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on two years of probation with a 30-day actual suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect Sept. 22, 2005. Quigg stipulated to misconduct in two matters.In two personal injury cases, his non-attorney employee, Javier Luna, handled settlement negotiations. One case settled for $2,000 because the client and Luna mistakenly believed the client did not have liability insurance. Quigg received a $2,000 check for the client.When the client learned she did in fact have liability insurance, Luna drafted a complaint that Quigg signed; he contends he didn’t know the statute of limitations had expired. After the complaint was filed, Luna altered the filing date to one day before the expiration date, according to the stipulation.Luna drafted a letter, signed by Quigg, to the insurance company with a demand for more money. Quigg said he did not know the date on the complaint had been changed.The circumstances of the second case were similar: Luna drafted and filed a complaint after the statute of limitations had expired and then changed the date. Quigg said he did not learn about his employee’s actions or the true status of either matter until contacted by the State Bar. Both clients received settlements, Quigg took no fee and he fired Luna. He stipulated that he failed to perform legal services competently in both matters.Quigg also was disciplined in 1993.In mitigation, he cooperated with the bar’s investigation. |
