Discipline Summaries

December 20, 2013

KENNETH JOHN KLEINBERG [#110732], 63, of Irvine was suspended for three years, stayed, placed on four years’ probation with an actual nine-month suspension and ordered to take the MPRE. The order took effect Dec. 20, 2013.

Kleinberg stipulated to misconduct in four matters. He violated rule 9.20 by filing a false declaration with the State Bar Court, which was also late. In two matters, he held himself out as being entitled to practice law when he was not. He also stipulated that in nine instances he failed to comply with the conditions of his disciplinary probation.

In mitigation, Kleinberg was caring for his elderly and ill mom at the time of his misconduct. He also successfully completed the Lawyer Assistance Program and the Alternative Discipline Program.

Kleinberg has one prior record of discipline. In December 2008, he received an actual 120-day suspension for five counts of misconduct, all stemming from tax problems.

He did not file an employee’s W-2 form with the Social Security Administration for 10 years, and although he withheld federal and state income taxes and Social Security from the employee’s paycheck, he did not pay those taxes.

In addition, he stipulated that he failed to withhold and pay the employee’s Medicare taxes and state unemployment/disability insurance. He committed acts of moral turpitude by giving the employee false W-2 forms for 10 years.
