Discipline Summaries

August 6, 1999

SHAUN ORVILLE ALLICOCK [#147000], 37, of San Jose was disbarred Aug. 6, 1999, and ordered to comply with rule 955 of the California Rules of Court.

Allicock was disciplined in March 1998, and was ordered to comply with rule 955 by notifying his clients and other interested parties that he was suspended from practice and to submit an affidavit to that effect to the Supreme Court.

He failed to submit the affidavit.

His misconduct, which began less than two years after he was licensed to practice law, included commingling client and personal funds in his client trust account, failure to deposit client funds in his trust account, paying personal expenses from that account and misappropriating client funds. He also failed to perform legal services competently in four client matters, communicate with clients in two matters, promptly pay a medical lien or keep his address current with the State Bar. In addition, he improperly withdrew from employment in three matters and entered into an improper business transaction with a client.

April 11, 1998

SHAUN O. ALLICOCK [#147000], 36, of San Jose was suspended for three years, stayed, and placed on three years of probation with an actual 18-month suspension and until he makes restitution to three clients. He also was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 955. The order took effect April 11, 1998.

Allicock stipulated that he mishandled his client trust account by failing to deposit full amounts of settlement checks, commingling personal and client funds, misappropriating client funds and failing to keep proper records.

He also admitted to four counts of failing to perform legal services competently.

Allicock dismissed a racial discrimination case filed on behalf of a client in federal court, promising to re-file it in state court. He did not return 17 phone calls from the client and never re-filed the matter.

However, he persuaded the client to agree to loan him $10,000 to help buy a bulldozer for a gold-mining operation in Guyana. In exchange for the loan, the client would receive either a one-sixth interest in the bulldozer or a share of the lease agreement on the mine and partnership.

Allicock borrowed an additional $7,000 from the client and caused him to incur about $1,500 in cellular phone charges. Allicock signed a note agreeing to pay the client $8,500.

In neither of these business transactions did Allicock advise the client in writing that he could seek independent counsel.

He did not pay a medical lien for one client in a personal injury case. In an insurance dispute he handled for another client, he failed to finalize the settlement for two and a half years.

Allicock cooperated with the bar's investigation.
