Discipline Summaries
June 18, 2016 JEANNIE E. TANAKA [#116289], 74, of Los Angeles, was suspended from the practice of law for two years and placed on four years’ probation. She must comply with all conditions of probation in an underlying criminal matter including the requirement that she seek treatment by a psychiatrist and comply with a protective order. She must pass the State Bar Ethics School test and pass the MPRE. The order took effect June 18, 2016. Tanaka’s discipline followed her criminal conviction for attempted kidnapping, battery and attempting to evade police while driving a vehicle. Those events arose from her attempt to take her aged mother from her sister’s home, following a longstanding family dispute, despite prior court orders prohibiting Tanaka from visiting her mother without notice and the presence of a monitor during visits.Tanaka pepper-sprayed a caretaker and left with her mother, driving recklessly. The State Bar Court determined that Tanaka’s acts involved misconduct but not moral turpitude, based on previous case outcomes. In aggravation, Tanaka committed multiple acts of misconduct, showed dishonesty and lack of candor and caused harm to the public. She demonstrated lack of insight and recognition into her misconduct. In mitigation, Tanaka had 27 years of discipline-free practice.March 29, 2013 JEANNIE E. TANAKA [#116289], 71, of Los Angeles, was placed on interim suspension March 29, 2013, following a conviction for felony attempted kidnapping and two misdemeanors, evading a peace officer and battery. She was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. |
