May 19, 1996 TERRY HERRERA [#125837], 55, of Los Angeles was suspended for one year, stayed, and placed on probation for one year, with 60 days actual suspension, effective May 19, 1996. He was ordered to pass the CPRE. Herrera took over a personal injury case from another attorney in 1988. In 1989, he deposited a $1,000 medical draft payment into his client trust account. He later withdrew from representation, but failed to notify the client that he had received the draft.He misappropriated the funds when his client trust account fell below the balance due to the client. In mitigation, Herrera immediately responded to bar investigators' inquiries and cooperated with the disciplinary investigation.He promptly made restitution to his client, demonstrating recognition of his wrongdoing.In addition, considerable time has passed since the misconduct took place, he voluntarily placed himself on inactive status in December 1994 and since then has returned to the Philippines, engaged in charity work.When Herrera took over the case, he was initially unaware of the money due the medical provider. He has no prior record of discipline. |
