Discipline Summaries

September 21, 2006

CHARLES H. CARREON [#127139], 50, of Pacifica was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years of probation with an actual 60-day suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE and prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect Sept. 21, 2006.

Carreon, who is licensed in both California and Oregon, was disciplined in Oregon for practicing without a license in Canada. He represented a U.S. corporation as house counsel for its business operations in Vancouver, British Columbia, but he was not licensed there.

As counsel for the company, he held in trust settlement proceeds from a litigation matter. Without consulting with his client, Carreon used $1,400 of the settlement money to pay a money judgment obtained for a residential lease he had signed in connection with his employment in Canada. He knew or should have known that the company disputed whether he was entitled to payment for the lease as a reimbursable expense.

The Oregon order found that Carreon violated his duty to maintain client funds in trust. The violation amounted to a violation of the California Rules of Professional Conduct. Practicing law in a jurisdiction where he was not entitled to do so also violated the California rules.

In mitigation, Carreon has no prior record of discipline and no clients were harmed.
