Discipline Summaries
June 8, 2002 MARIE R. CANNELLA [#115480], 58, of Glendale was disbarred June 8, 2002, and ordered to comply with rule 955. In a default proceeding the State Bar Court found that she failed to comply with rule 955 order last year by failing to submit to the Supreme Court an affidavit attesting that she notified her clients and other pertinent parties of her suspension from practice. Failure ot comply with rule 955 is grounds for disbarment.The underlying discipline, also ordered in a default proceeding, was the result of Cannella's failure to perform legal services competently or return client files.February 16, 2001 MARIE R. CANNELLA [#115480], 56, of Glendale was suspended for one year, stayed, actually suspended for 60 days and until the State Bar Court grants a motion to terminate the suspension, and was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 955. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, she must prove her rehabilitation. The order took effect Feb. 16, 2001. In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court found that Cannella failed to complete a probate matter or return a client’s papers and she did not cooperate with the bar’s investigation.Although Cannella filed a petition to probate a will and letters testamentary, she never finalized the probate. She also did not respond to a letter from her client asking that the matter be completed.When the client and her husband, who had hired Cannella several years earlier to prepare their wills, fired Cannella and asked that she give them the original wills and trusts, she never did so.In mitigation, Cannella has no record of discipline since her 1984 admission to the bar. |
