Discipline Summaries
June 18, 2011 JULIUS HARMOND HUGHEY [#151196], 50, of San Francisco was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on one year of probation and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect June 18, 2011. Hughey stipulated to seven acts of misconduct in three matters.The first client paid $2,500 to obtain a loan modification and although Hughey wrote to the bank, he never did anything further. The client called him directly five times without a response, and he also didn’t respond to a third party who made inquiries on the client’s behalf. Hughey refunded her full retainer about nine months later.Another client hired Hughey to file several suits alleging fraudulent bank loans, including claims that her business partner absconded with the loan proceeds. Hughey made about four phone calls to the bank, but did not pursue the matter further or return the client’s phone calls or calls from a third party. He eventually refunded her full $2,500 retainer.In both those matters, Hughey stipulated that he failed to perform legal services competently, promptly refund unearned fees or respond to client status inquiries.In a third case, he was hired to prepare and file a bankruptcy. He did not do so for more than a year, but at the time of the stipulation, he still represented the client and was working on the case. He stipulated that he failed to perform legal services competently.In mitigation, he had no prior discipline record since his 1990 admission to the bar, he cooperated with the bar’s investigation and he had back surgery that incapacitated him and affected his legal practice. |
