January 28, 2016 ALAN MARK SCHNITZER [#129024], 56, of Los Alamitos, was disbarred Jan. 28, 2016 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. Schnitzer was disbarred after his default was entered for failing to respond to a notice of disciplinary charges. Because he did not seek to have the default set aside or vacated within 90 days as required under rule 5.85 of the State Bar's Rules of Procedure, he was disbarred and the charges against him deemed admitted.Schnitzer failed to comply with rule 9.20 as required by an earlier disciplinary order.He was disciplined on three prior occasions, the most recent of which was a suspension for holding himself out as entitled to practice law when he wasn't. At the time, he was on suspension after being found culpable of violating the terms of a public reproval and committing an act involving dishonesty, moral turpitude or corruption. He altered the date on a summons and complaint and submitted the altered document to an insurance company. He also failed to cooperate in a disciplinary investigation.June 16, 2012 ALAN MARK SCHNITZER, 52, of Los Alamitos was suspended for two years, stayed, actually suspended for six months and until the State Bar Court grants a motion to terminate the suspension and he was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, he must prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect June 16, 2012. In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court found that Schnitzer committed five acts of misconduct.He failed to comply with conditions attached to a 2007 public reproval imposed for failing to perform legal services competently or respond to client inquiries. He failed to complete six hours of MCLE, filed four probation reports late and he did not meet with his probation officer on time.In a personal injury case, Schnitzer altered the date on the summons and complaint to appear as if he had filed it within the statute of limitations. His conduct amounted to moral turpitude and he failed to cooperate with the bar’s investigation. |
