November 29, 2000 DONETIA R. MESHACK [#118044], 43, of Los Angeles was disbarred Nov. 29, 2000, and ordered to comply with rule 955. Meshack did not meet the requirements of a 1999 order that she comply with rule 955; she did not file an affidavit with the Supreme Court stating that she notified her clients and other pertinent parties of her suspension from practice.She has four prior disciplines, beginning in 1995, as well as a suspension for failure to pay bar dues and inactive enrollment for not completing the MCLE requirement.She first stipulated to a private reproval for failing to perform legal services competently, promptly return client files, refund unearned fees, or communicate with clients, and for improperly withdrawing from employment without protecting her client’s interests. When she did not comply with the conditions attached to the reproval, she was publicly reproved. In that case, Meshack also did not return unearned fees, cooperate with the bar’s investigation or keep her address current.She was publicly reproved again in 1998 for failure to comply with conditions of the second reproval, and when she again did not meet disciplinary requirements, she was suspended in 1999.December 31, 1999 DONETIA R. MESHACK [#118044], 42, of Los Angeles was suspended for 90 days and until she makes restitution and she was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 955. If the suspension exceeds two years, she must prove her rehabilitation. The order took effect Dec. 31, 1999. In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court found that Meshack violated the terms of a 1998 public reproval by failing to submit five quarterly reports, proof of membership in the law practice management section or proof of completion of the professional responsibility exam, and she had not made restitution to a client.It is her fourth disciplinary proceeding and the third involving probation violations.Meshack was privately reproved in 1995 for failing to perform legal services competently, return client papers and property or refund unearned fees.In 1997, she was publicly reproved for failure to refund unearned fees, cooperate with a bar investigation, maintain a current address with the bar and for failing to comply with conditions attached to the private reproval. She had not provided proof of restitution, completed ethics school or taken the professional responsibility exam.The following year, she was again publicly reproved for failing to file quarterly probation reports, prove her membership in the law practice management section or submit proof of restitution, all required in the 1997 order. |
