Discipline Summaries

September 3, 2009

GARY LEE MERKLE [#122325], 62, of Van Nuys was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on two years of probation with a 30-day actual suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect Sept. 3, 2009.

Merkle practiced law while suspended for MCLE non-compliance. He continued to work on two cases for a single client he had accepted prior to the suspension, appearing in court for a trial in a Social Security matter and working on a workers’ compensation matter by making a settlement proposal and filing a declaration with a workers’ compensation appeals board.

He said he did not comply with the MCLE requirement on time because he wanted to attend classes related to his field but was unable to arrange the class prior to the deadline.

In mitigation, Merkle has no discipline record and no clients were harmed by his actions.
