August 6, 1999 VINCENT CRAIG WILLIAMS [#135531], 38, of San Francisco was suspended for one year, stayed, and placed on one year of probation with a 60-day actual suspension. The order took effect Aug. 6, 1999. Williams was disciplined in 1993 for trust account violations and for forming a partnership with a non-attorney which resulted in the non-lawyer misappropriating client funds. Williams agreed to make restitution over five years, but was unable to do so because of financial hardship.The restitution order was modified, but he still made payments late and was unlikely to complete the restitution this year as required. Some probation reports also were incomplete.Inactive since 1996, Williams is trying to build up two business ventures but has had difficulty keeping fulltime employment due to his problems with the State Bar.The bar court found that "nothing would be accomplished" by an endless round of probation violation cases, and said restitution could be completed more easily by Williams' return to active practice. The court conditioned that return on his completion of ethics school, taking the MPRE and undergoing a fitness hearing. |
