Discipline Summaries

July 22, 1999

FRANK R. SARIOL [#140406], 49, of Santa Ana was suspended for four years, stayed, placed on three years of probation with an actual five-month suspension, and was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 955. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, he must prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect July 22, 1999.

Sariol stipulated to misconduct in nine consolidated matters involving the misappropriation of client funds as a result of his haphazard failure to maintain adequate records.

In six matters, his negligent handling of the deposit, distribution and maintenance of client funds resulted in a failure to pay medical liens. He issued checks before deposits had been made, and a personal injury matter was dismissed as a result of his failure to pursue the case.

Sariol had enjoyed a booming practice in the early 1990s, but he became overextended and wound up in debt. He was overworked, his office became disorganized, and he sometimes did not have enough time to make deposits into his client trust account. He then became sick and did not recover for two years.

He is now paying off his debts and attempting to re-establish himself.
