Discipline Summaries

April 2, 1997

ALVIN L. CHING [#135443], 35, of Glendale was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on probation for two years with an actual 120-day suspension, and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year and comply with rule 955. The order took effect April 2, 1997.

For 19 months, Ching did not pay a married couple their settlement funds from a personal injury case, nor did he pay their medical provider, despite an agreement to pay any medical liens. He wilfully misappropriated client funds, allowing the balance in his client trust account to drop below the required amount, did not communicate with his clients and failed to perform legal services competently.

In mitigation, Ching demonstrated candor and cooperation with the investigation.
