Discipline Summaries
January 20, 2011 KENNETH ALAN REED [#133567], 52, of Santa Ana was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on two years of probation with an actual 30-day suspension and he was ordered to take the MPRE within a year. The order took effect Jan. 20, 2011. Reed stipulated to two counts of misconduct in two matters. He failed to refund an unearned fee and he commingled funds in his client trust account. He deposited personal funds in his trust account but did not pay personal expenses from the account. He removed earned fees every month.Reed did not have a retainer agreement with a client who hired him to obtain the return of his truck and $700 seized by the Tustin police. The client paid a $15,000 advance fee. Although Reed got the truck back, the cash was not returned. He did not return the client’s phone calls, but asserts he didn’t get the messages because his secretary was out and her replacement stopped opening mail or sending him phone messages. He was not aware his client had asked for a refund and he later returned $15,000.In mitigation, Reed had no prior discipline record and he took corrective measures and instituted good record-keeping procedures to avoid further misconduct. No clients were harmed. |
