Discipline Summaries

November 24, 2011

STEPHEN PATRICK WHITE [#125276], 56, of San Diego was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on four years of probation and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect Nov. 24, 2011.

White successfully completed the State Bar’s Alternative Discipline Program for lawyers with mental health or substance abuse problems. He was convicted in 2005 of driving with a blood alcohol content of more than .08 percent, a misdemeanor.

He was disciplined three times previously, including for DUI convictions and driving without a license. In mitigation, he cooperated with the bar’s investigation, no clients were harmed and he presented evidence of his good character.

January 15, 1997

STEPHEN P. WHITE [#125276], 40, of San Diego was suspended for 18 months, stayed, and placed on probation for three years on the condition that he actually be suspended for nine months and until he proves he has made restitution, effective Jan. 15, 1997. If his actual suspension lasts for two years or more, he will remain suspended until he has shown proof of his fitness to practice law. He also was ordered to comply with rule 955.

White stipulated to 21 counts of misconduct, including client trust account violations, moral turpitude, dishonesty or corruption, unauthorized case withdrawal, failure to act competently and disobeying a court order.

He was ordered to make restitution to six clients and medical providers, or to the State Bar Client Security Fund.

In aggravation, White has a prior record of discipline. He received a public reproval in 1995, after a misdemeanor conviction for driving while under the influence of alcohol.

White's misconduct involved multiple acts of wrongdoing and the stipulation included four cases involving four separate clients. He also demonstrated his indifference to the consequences of his misconduct by failing to make restitution before the State Bar's prosecution began.

Also considered an aggravating factor was White's failure to fully comply with probation requirements of the public reproval.

In mitigation, White had marital problems and was battling alcoholism during this time. Although he did not begin paying restitution until the State Bar became involved, the fact that he did so exhibited "an increased level of responsible productivity."
