Discipline Summaries

November 8, 2012

MICHAEL STEPHEN KEREKES [#130267], 50, of Santa Monica was summarily disbarred Nov. 8, 2012, and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court.

Kerekes pleaded guilty in 2009 to federal conspiracy charges involving attempted evasion of income taxes, making a false income tax return, aiding in the preparation of false tax returns and trying to obstruct the administration of internal revenue laws. He was placed on interim suspension July 17, 2009.

Because conspiracy is a felony involving moral turpitude, Kerekes was subject to summary disbarment.
