Discipline Summaries

January 15, 2016

WILLIAM RALPH WALZ [#136995], 55, of Foothill Ranch, was suspended from the practice of law for 30 days and ordered to take the MPRE. He was also placed on two years’ probation and faces a one-year suspension if he does not comply with the terms of his disciplinary probation. The order took effect Jan. 15, 2016.

Walz failed to abide by the terms of a private reproval by representing a client while he was not eligible to practice law, failing to submit two out of four quarterly reports to probation on time and not providing proof of having passed the MPRE within a year of the effective date of his discipline. His private reproval was for practicing law while on inactive status due to not meeting his MCLE requirements.

In mitigation, Walz was suffering extreme emotional difficulties at the time of his most recent misconduct, entered into a pretrial stipulation and presented evidence of his good character.
