He wrote a check for $2,000 on an account which had been closed four months earlier, never reimbursed the seller or made any subsequent payments and never returned the car.McDougall was disciplined last year in a matter still pending before the State Bar Court's review department. His misconduct there included failing to perform legal services competently, communicate with his client or promptly return client files, misrepresenting the status of a case, dismissing an action without his client's consent, violating court discovery orders and improper withdrawal from employment.In the default matter which resulted in his disbarment, McDougall was enrolled involuntarily inactive a year ago after he advised the State Bar Court that he planned to resign from the bar but did not do so. |
