Discipline Summaries

May 28, 2015

KATHARINE DEMGEN [#135254], 60, of San Francisco, was suspended from the practice of law for one year and ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. She was also placed on two years’ probation and faces a two-year suspension if she does not comply with the terms of her disciplinary probation. The order took effect May 28, 2015.

Demgen stipulated that starting in August 2012 she withdrew $7,963.46 from an elderly client’s bank accounts to use for her own benefit. She also convinced the woman to loan her $6,630, loans that were not secured, and did not lay out the terms of the loans in writing or inform her of her right to consult an independent attorney. Demgen also did not provide the client’s new attorney with an accounting for almost a year.

In mitigation, Demgen was experiencing physical difficulties and family problems at the time of her misconduct, had no prior record of discipline, paid restitution, entered into a pretrial stipulation with the State Bar and presented evidence of her good character.
