Discipline Summaries

August 28, 2016

DANIEL ALAN BERNATH [#116636], 67, of Fort Myers, Fla., was disbarred Aug. 28, 2016 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court.

Bernath was disbarred after his default was entered for failing to appear in the midst of a lengthy State Bar Court trial. He failed to have his default set aside or vacated within 45 days as required under rule 5.85 of the State Bar’s Rules of Procedure so the bar moved to disbar him.

The charges were deemed admitted. Bernath engaged in the unauthorized practice of law, engaged in moral turpitude by repeatedly holding himself out as entitled to practice law when he wasn’t and made a false statement to the State Bar. He also engaged in the unauthorized practice of law in Oregon, where he was not licensed, engaged in moral turpitude by practicing law there, failed to report to the State Bar an order permanently barring him from practicing before the Social Security Administration and sent letters to prospective clients that were not labeled as advertising.

In a third matter, he held himself out as authorized to practice law when he wasn’t and engaged in moral turpitude by doing so.
