Discipline Summaries
September 14, 2000 LIH-JIUAN GRACE LIN [#147155], 44, of Alhambra was disbarred Sept. 14, 2000, and was ordered to comply with rule 955. In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court found that Lin failed to render an accounting of client funds in her possession, return client files, maintain client funds in her trust account or cooperate with the bar’s investigation, and she misappropriated client funds, an act of moral turpitude.Lin’s misconduct occurred in two cases she handled for one client, who paid $6,000 as advance fees and $1,000 as advance costs. The client also gave Lin another $7,500 as a “provisional seizure fund.†The client asked Lin to stop working on the cases and sought a refund of the seizure fund money and a return of his files. Lin did not respond.When the client complained to the bar, Lin requested three time extensions over three months and then stopped responding to bar inquiries.In recommending Lin’s disbarment, bar court Judge Madge S. Watai pointed to her “apparent lack of a sense of duty and responsibility as an attorney.†|
