Discipline Summaries

December 20, 2002

EDWARD HOLLAND HOROWITZ [#135566], 50, of Riverside was revoked, the stay of suspension lifted and he was actually suspended and ordered to comply with rule 955. Credit for the actual suspension shall be given for the period of involuntary inactive enrollment which began July 28, 2002. The order took effect Dec. 20, 2002.

Horowitz was disciplined in 2001 for failing to pay court-ordered sanctions or perform legal services competently. He did not comply with terms of his probation by failing to file two quarterly probation reports or make seven restitution payments. Although he made one payment, he did not provide proof to the probation department. He also submitted one quarterly report, but it was rejected.

Horowitz also was disciplined in 1994 and 1997.

August 17, 2001

EDWARD H. HOROWITZ [#135566], 49, of Riverside was suspended for one year, stayed, and placed on probation for two years. The order took effect Aug. 17, 2001.

Horowitz stipulated to failing to pay court sanctions and performing incompetently.

In one matter, he represented himself in a 1995 civil action. He was sanctioned $1,320, to be paid within 20 days, based on allegations he caused a wrongful default judgment to be entered against the defendant.

In a second case, he substituted in to a felony case, replacing a public defender. But neither he nor his client appeared at a November 2000 settlement conference. The hearing was continued and a bench warrant was issued. He and his client appeared at the next hearing and the judge granted their request to continue the matter again. But then the two missed the continued hearing. A second bench warrant was issued, and Horowitz and his client again failed to appear. Horowitz did not contact the court.

He did not contact the client again until February 2001. In January, the client appeared without Horowitz and a public defender was appointed to represent her.

As part of his probation, Horowitz agreed to pay off the sanctions at $20 per month. He was not required to take the MPRE since he was ordered to pass the exam as part of an earlier discipline.

His prior record includes a 1994 public reproval for failing to report and pay sanctions. In 1997, he was suspended for 90 days after stipulating to failing to comply with conditions of the public reproval.

In mitigation, Horowitz was suffering from severe financial stress at the time of the misconduct.

April 25, 1997

EDWARD H. HOROWITZ [#135566], 44, of Riverside was suspended for 90 days, stayed, placed on one year of probation, and was ordered to take the professional responsibility exam within one year. The order took effect April 25, 1997.

Horowitz was publicly reproved in 1994, and failed to comply with the conditions of the reproval: he completed ethics school late, did not take the CPRE, and submitted three quarterly reports late and one report not at all.
