Discipline Summaries

April 13, 2001

JOHN J. KOZLOWSKI [#146169], 52, of Santa Rosa was suspended for two years, stayed, actually suspended for 90 days and placed on probation for two years. He also was ordered to take the MPRE within one year and comply with rule 955. The order took effect April 13, 2001.

Kozlowski’s misconduct stems from five client matters. One client was ordered deported after Kozlowski did not notify him of a hearing date, despite repeated phone calls the client made seeking case updates. Another client’s immigration application for permanent status was denied after Kozlowski failed to file it, extend the deadline or notify the client of the problem.

A third case was dismissed when Kozlowski failed to appear at hearings. When the client learned of the dismissal, Kozlowski assured her he would have it set aside. But he did not return the client’s subsequent phone calls and did not proceed with the case.

In the other cases, Kozlowski failed to respond to a motion for summary judgment, resulting in a ruling in favor of the opposing party, and a client was sanctioned after Kozlowski failed to respond to a motion to expunge.

In mitigation, Kozlowski had no prior record of discipline and cooperated with the bar’s investigation.
