Discipline Summaries

October 11, 1997

ROBERT J. CURATOLA [#140948], 34, of Diamond Bar was suspended for three years, stayed, and placed on three years of probation, with an actual suspension of one year and until he proves his rehabilitation. He was ordered to take the MPRE within one year and to comply with rule 955. The order took effect Oct. 11, 1997.

Curatola was later placed on inactive status by the bar for failing to complete his MCLE requirements. He practiced law while not entitled.

He failed to appear at a hearing, causing his client’s matter to be taken off calendar.

In a personal injury case, Curatola did not pay his client settlement funds to which she was entitled until more than a year later. He allowed the balance in his client trust account to dip below the required amount during that period of time, misappropriated client funds, and used the client trust account to pay personal expenses.

Curatola had no record of discipline since his admission to the bar in 1989.
