Discipline Summaries
April 25, 2014 RAYMOND ROY MILLER [#144398], 62, of Castro Valley was suspended for two years, stayed, and placed on two years’ probation. The order took effect April 25, 2014. The State Bar Court found that Miller commingled personal funds with his client trust account in May 2012, when he deposited $700 of his own funds into the account out of the mistaken belief that he was required to use the account to pay advanced costs. He also commingled funds when he used his client trust account as a personal checking account by paying three personal/business expenses totaling $530.12.He had one prior record of discipline for filing, for an improper purpose, an involuntary bankruptcy petition against a company on behalf of four clients; and committing acts involving moral turpitude, dishonesty and corruption in the bankruptcy proceeding by making multiple misrepresentations and by concealing facts from the bankruptcy court, the bankruptcy trustee and three of his clients. He also violated a bankruptcy court sanctions order.August 9, 2013 RAYMOND ROY MILLER [#144398], 61, of Castro Valley, was suspended for two years, stayed, with a 30-day actual suspension and THADDEUS ZIGMUND WOLNY [#119113], 62, of Pittsburg, was suspended for two years, stayed, with an actual 90-day suspension in connection with their handling of a client’s case. The order took effect Aug. 9, 2013. Both Miller and Wolny were found culpable of failing to maintain only legal or just actions or defenses, committing moral turpitude by making misrepresentations to three trade creditors and disobeying or violating a court order. Wolny was also found culpable of not reporting a judicial sanction and not cooperating with a State Bar investigation.The two attorneys were hired in 2007 to file an improper involuntary bankruptcy petition against a company on behalf of its ousted CEO. To do so, Miller and Wolny misled three trade creditors into thinking that the company had no money and that participating in the petition was the only way they were going to get paid. When the creditors discovered that was not the case, they asked Miller and Wolny to submit their withdrawals, which they never did. Because they didn’t file the withdrawals, the company was forced into bankruptcy. The attorneys then concealed from the bankruptcy court their plan to have the company pay off their client’s claims in exchange for dismissing the action.In mitigation, Miller had no prior record of discipline, had no background in involuntary bankruptcy and was relying on Wolny’s expertise, and expressed remorse. Wolny also had no history of discipline and expressed remorse. In addition, Wolny was suffering from health problems at the time of his misconduct, which resulted from a heart attack and stroke he suffered in 2009. |
