Discipline Summaries

August 17, 2000

ANGELA BARSEGHIAN [#140852], 46, of Los Angeles was suspended for 60 days, stayed, placed on one year of probation and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect Aug. 17, 2000.

Barseghian stipulated that she withdrew from employment without protecting her clients’ interests, failed to comply with a court-ordered sanction and did not report the sanction to the State Bar.

She represented several clients in a personal injury case, but eventually withdrew from the case because of other commitments. For an unexplained reason, substitution of attorney forms were executed for two clients but not two others, and Barseghian was unaware that not all the forms were received by the court clerk.

Subsequently, a court order in the matter was sent to Barseghian, but she had moved and does not recall ever seeing the order. She missed a hearing, was sanctioned and did not pay the sanctions. The case was dismissed.

Barseghian was disciplined in 1996 for failing to promptly pay out client funds.

In mitigation, she has provided substantial pro bono work for individuals in the Russian Armenian community, her office was disrupted because of asbestos problems in her building, she was forced to move three times and her mail was rerouted.

March 22, 1996

ANGELA BARSEGHIAN [#140852], 41, of Beverly Hills was suspended for one year, stayed, and placed on probation for two years with an actual suspension of 30 days, effective March 22, 1996. She also was ordered to pass the CPRE.

Barseghian failed to honor a client's medical liens, despite numerous attempts by the medical provider to collect the funds.

The physician was eventually successful in obtaining a small claims court judgment against Barseghian, but by the end of 1995 it had not been paid.

In aggravation, Barseghian demonstrated indifference to the consequences of her misconduct by not paying the physician in a timely manner.

In mitigation, Barseghian has no prior record of discipline since her admission to the bar in 1989.
