September 29, 2000 MORRIS BROWN KEMPER [#152415], 53, of San Jose was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on four years of probation with an actual one-year suspension and was ordered to make restitution, take the MPRE and comply with rule 955. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, he must prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect Sept. 29, 2000. Kemper stipulated to misconduct in two cases.He represented a client in a criminal matter, but it was dismissed when he failed to file a motion in a timely manner. He did not refund $3,000 of the $5,000 fee he received in advance of the case.He settled a second case for a minor for $15,000, depositing the check in his client trust account. Kemper says his agent gave him a disbursement sheet supposedly signed by the client, who said she wanted to be paid in cash because she did not have a bank account. Kemper also says he gave his agent a cashier’s check, payable to cash in the amount of $11,250, for delivery to the client. The funds were never given to the client.Kemper stipulated that by failing to supervise an employee, he failed to perform legal services competently or deliver funds to a client, and he misappropriated client funds, an act of moral turpitude.In mitigation, he has no record of discipline, he cooperated with the bar’s investigation and he did not profit financially from his improper disbursement of funds. |
