November 2, 2000 ERIC JAY PIEPES [#130522], 44, of Douglaston, N.Y., was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on three years of probation with an actual six-month suspension and was ordered to comply with rule 955. The order took effect Nov. 2, 2000. Piepes was disciplined in New York for his conduct while representing a woman who was seeking compensation from another woman with whom she had had an altercation. After the woman against whom the claim was made moved to Florida, Piepes wrote her a letter conveying an offer of $25,000 purportedly made by his client’s father.Piepes provided a misleading ex-planation about the letter in his answer to the woman’s complaint to the New York lawyer grievance committee.His misconduct in New York would warrant discipline in Califor-nia had it been committed here and as a result he was suspended.In mitigation, Piepes’s diabetes medication produced aberrational behavior; a physician testified that Piepes became manic and the drug impaired his thinking. |
