Discipline Summaries
August 20, 2014 GREGORY ELROD GRANTHAM [#125732], 57, of Oceanside, was placed on interim suspension Aug. 20, 2014 following convictions for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud and obstruction of justice, all felonies involving moral turpitude. He was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. December 17, 1995 GREGORY E. GRANTHAM [#125732], 38, of Dana Point was suspended for six months, stayed, and placed on probation for two years, effective Dec. 17, 1995. He was ordered to pass the CPRE. Grantham allowed his client trust account to fall below the required balance, commingled funds, failed to keep a client informed about the status of his case and failed to perform legal services competently. In one matter, during the course of representing a client in a lawsuit against a home construction company, Grantham failed to make an appearance at a bankruptcy court hearing because his wife went into labor. He neglected to arrange for another attorney to cover for him or to notify the court of his inability to appear. He failed to inform his client that an order to show cause hearing was set and subsequently failed to inform him of the dismissal of the case. Grantham and his client eventually reached an agreement whereby Grantham paid the client the reasonable value of his lawsuit. In a second case, he advanced trust funds to a client erroneously, but in good faith, because he believed sufficient funds would be forthcoming shortly. The funds were advanced to the client to prevent the foreclosure of the client's home. In mitigation, Grantham was candid and cooperated with the bar's investigation. Among other things, he promptly produced his client trust account records and other documents requested by the bar. Grantham has since made changes in the management of his client trust account. During the period of his misconduct, he was caring for his terminally ill father and experiencing significant stress. |
