October 8, 1997 WILSON A. QUINLEY [#147397], 39, of Agana, Guam, was suspended for two years, stayed, and placed on probation for two years with 90 days of actual suspension. He was ordered to pass the MPRE and comply with rule 955. The order was effective Oct. 8, 1997. Quinley stipulated to eight counts of misconduct involving four client matters. In one matter, Quinley was hired by a client to handle a civil action in October 1991. A year later, he formed a new law partnership with Alysa Rosen [#146010], 34, of Woodland Hills (see previous page), who subsequently participated in a settlement conference with Quinley’s client, which resulted in a $65,000 settlement. In May 1993, $50,000 was deposited into the firm’s client trust account labeled "Quinley & Associates" and in August $15,000 was deposited into a separate "Quinley & Rosen" client trust account. The client agreed that the funds due to him amounted to $30,000, but he requested that the firm hold the money in trust. In August 1993, the balance in the Quinley & Associates client trust account fell below the $30,000 amount held for the client. In September 1993, Rosen transferred all client funds from the Quinley & Rosen trust account to her own client trust account. Quinley learned of the transfer a week later, but took no action. In November 1993, the client unsuccessfully requested the disbursement of his entitled funds. By January 1994, he was forced to retain new counsel in order to obtain his money. In other instances of misconduct, Quinley stipulated to failure to perform legal services competently, respond to reasonable case status inquiries, properly withdraw from a case and cooperate with the bar’s investigation. In aggravation, Quinley’s misconduct involved multiple acts of wrongdoing. Quinley’s prior discipline-free record was not applicable in mitigation due to the serious nature of his misconduct. However, accepted as mitigating circumstances were the difficulties which arose in his law partnership, which was eventually dissolved. In addition, Quinley experienced personal and emotional difficulties from November 1992-94. |
