Discipline Summaries
July 19, 1998 CYNTHIA ANN DUNNING [#126627], 44, of Alta Loma was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years of probation with a 90-day actual suspension and until she makes restitution, and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year and to comply with rule 955. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, she must prove her rehabilitation. The order took effect July 19, 1998. In 1991, Dunning assumed another attorney's caseload, which included representation of two clients in a personal injury matter. After negotiating a settlement, Dunning's office received two settlement checks made out to the two clients and Dunning.Dunning's employees forged the clients' signatures on documents purporting to release all claims by the clients and sent the documents to the insurance company as part of the settlement. They then forged the clients' signatures on the checks and deposited them into Dunning's general checking account without Dunning's knowledge.The clients did not receive the funds, which were used by Dunning and her office manager. Dunning did not know the clients were entitled to the funds in question.She stipulated that she was grossly negligent in failing to supervise her staff or adequately review her case files and bank statements to ensure that client funds were properly maintained.Dunning failed to maintain client funds in trust and failed to keep her clients informed of developments in their case. In mitigation, Dunning has no record of discipline in 12 years of practice. |
