Discipline Summaries

April 18, 2015

FRANK EDWARD GOSECO [#132732], 55, of Surfside, was suspended from the practice of law for six months and ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. He was also placed on four years’ probation and faces a two-year suspension if he does not comply with the terms of his disciplinary probation. The order took effect April 18, 2015.

Goseco’s suspension arises from three convictions: the first for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol and driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher with a prior DUI; the second for aggravated trespass; and a third for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or more with a prior DUI and hit and run with property damage.

The earliest criminal case was a hit and run Goseco committed in Irvine on Sept. 30, 2008. Although Goseco left the scene of the accident, the victim was able to give officers a description of his car and its license plate number, and police spotted the vehicle near Goseco’s home a few days later. Goseco attempted to evade officers, but eventually stopped Goseco. As he got out of his car in his driveway, they determined he was under the influence of alcohol.

In the second case, Goseco broke into a stranger’s apartment early the morning of Oct. 5, 2008, after somehow obtaining a key. The resident called police after finding Goseco eating salami he’d taken out of the refrigerator. Officers encountered him outside in the apartment complex and determined he’d been drinking.

Goseco was also arrested on Nov. 19, 2013 after a traffic accident. Goseco jogged away from the scene barefoot and was later found at his home, injured and with bloodstains on his clothing.

In mitigation, Goseco had no prior record of discipline and entered into a pretrial stipulation with the State Bar.
