Discipline Summaries

March 29, 1998

MARCY ELLEN KAYE [#140795], 43, of San Diego was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years of probation with an actual five-month suspension, and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect March 29, 1998. Credit toward the actual suspension was given for an interim suspension which ended June 12, 1997.

The discipline arose from a criminal conviction referral after Kaye was convicted in 1996 of unlawfully soliciting clients in an insurance fraud.

In a sting operation, Kaye paid two undercover investigators, who were posing as cappers, $500 apiece for each of six phony client referrals to her. She also introduced to the investigators two doctors who were willing to buy personal injury cases.

Kaye was charged with 13 counts of procuring or referring clients in violation of the Insurance Code. She pleaded guilty to one count and the remaining counts were dismissed.

In mitigation, Kaye demonstrated remorse, participated in several community service activities, and submitted to the court several letters attesting to her good character. Her actions harmed no clients, she has no record of prior discipline, and she cooperated with the bar's investigation.

December 26, 1996

MARCY ELLEN KAYE [#140795], 42, of San Diego was placed on interim suspension Dec. 26, 1996, following her felony conviction under the insurance code of unlawfully procuring or referring clients. She was ordered to comply with rule 955.
