Discipline Summaries

October 19, 2013

KIMBERLY L. MCALPIN [#124814], 53, of Manhattan Beach was disbarred Oct. 19, 2013 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court.

McAlpin was disbarred after her default was entered when she failed to appear at trial on Sept. 14, 2013. Under rule 5.83 of the State Bar’s Rules of Procedure, the State Bar can disbar a lawyer if he or she does not seek to have the default set aside within 90 days. Also, the charges are deemed admitted.

The underlying discipline in McAlpin’s case stems from a misdemeanor conviction for driving on a revoked license. She also violated a court order by not complying with rule 9.20 as required by a 2011 disciplinary order.

McAlpin’s earlier discipline was a suspension resulting from three DUI convictions.

September 24, 2011

KIMBERLY L. McALPIN, 51, of Manhattan Beach was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on three years of probation with a 90-day actual suspension and she was ordered to take the MPRE within one year and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. The order took effect Sept. 24, 2011.

McAlpin stipulated that she had two DUI convictions. While serving two overlapping 36-month periods of probation, she was convicted of a third DUI and sentenced to 188 days in jail. She stipulated that the convictions did not involve moral turpitude but warranted the imposition of discipline.

McAlpin had no prior discipline record, performed pro bono work and at the time of one arrest, she was on her way home from visiting her mother in the hospital and had been informed that her mother was terminally ill.
