Discipline Summaries

July 19, 2015

RICHARD DENNIS COATS [#117285], 61, of Alhambra, was suspended from the practice of law for 30 days and ordered to take the MPRE. He was also placed on one year of probation and faces a one-year suspension if he does not comply with the terms of his disciplinary probation. The order took effect July 19, 2015.

Coats falsely reported under penalty of perjury that he was in compliance with his MCLE requirements when he wasn’t. In mitigation, he entered into a pretrial stipulation with the State Bar and had no prior record of discipline.
