February 11, 2011 SCOTT EUGENE GILPIN [#133782], 59, of Oakland was disbarred Feb. 11, 2011, and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court found that Gilpin committed 16 acts of misconduct in three client matters, including misappropriating more than $23,600. He handled several lawsuits and other legal matters for a company that sued the city of Oakland, which won a $14,126 stipulated judgment against Gilpin’s clients. The company or its representative gave Gilpin funds totaling more than $20,000 to pay property taxes and to satisfy the judgment. He deposited the money in a general bank account and allowed the balance to fall to a negative amount. Gilpin also did not provide information to the company about bills, receipts and tax records.The court found that he misappropriated $23,629.77, committing acts of moral turpitude, and failed to perform legal services competently, communicate with clients or maintain client funds in trust.He wrote checks for insufficient funds against his client trust account and used the account to pay personal expenses. He also practiced law while suspended for not paying his bar dues, misrepresenting his status to the court.Gilpin was privately reproved in 2002 for writing checks against insufficient funds and when he did not comply with probation requirements, he was publicly reproved the following year. |
