He did not submit to the court an affidavit stating that he notified his clients, opposing counsel and other interested parties of his suspension.

In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court found that Day committed nine acts of misconduct in two matters, including failures to perform legal services competently, communicate with clients, return client files and cooperate with the bar’s investigation.In the first matter, a couple hired Day to represent them in a construction defect case against the builder of their home and a failure to disclose property defects case against the real estate agents. He did not file a claim or a lawsuit against the builder or agents and when the clients were unable to contact Day despite repeated requests, they fired him and asked for the return of their file.In the second matter, Day represented a doctor in a breach of contract action. Although he filed a lawsuit, he did not notify the defendants about a case management conference. He missed two hearings, did not file his client’s declaration and the case ultimately was dismissed. He took no action to reinstate the case and did not answer the client’s phone calls or e-mails.In mitigation, Day had no prior discipline record.He was placed on involuntary inactive status Dec. 10, 2010, for failing to respond to charges filed in October that he did not comply with rule 9.20. He is accused of not submitting to the bar court an affidavit stating that he notified his clients, opposing counsel and other interested parties that he was suspended from practice as a result of the discipline described above. |
