Discipline Summaries

December 28, 2006

MAURICIO ERNESTO HERNANDEZ [#123368], 50, of Pomona 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 Dec. 28, 2006.

Hernandez stipulated to misconduct in handling a personal injury claim he filed in 2003. He agreed to a $5,000 settlement, but did not inform his client he received a check for that amount. He did not respond to the client's many inquiries about the matter, so she complained to the State Bar. As a result, he finally sent the client her share of the settlement.

Soon after he filed the claim, he was placed on not eligible status by the bar for failing to comply with MCLE requirements. Nonetheless, he remained attorney of record in the personal injury case.

He stipulated that he failed to notify his client of his receipt of settlement funds, promptly disburse the funds or respond to status inquiries, and he practiced law while not eligible.

In mitigation, Hernandez has no other discipline record in 20 years of practice and his family was under severe stress due to his son's medical condition.
