Discipline Summaries

May 20, 1998

CESAR ENRIQUE TREVINO [#153117], 37, of San Diego was disbarred May 20, 1998, and ordered to comply with rule 955.

Trevino failed to file affidavits of compliance with rule 955 as ordered in May and October 1996.

His prior record of discipline was considered an aggravating factor. In August 1996, Trevino was privately reproved after he vouched for his client in a bail hearing. Despite knowing that her departure from the jurisdiction was a violation of her bond conditions, he took his client to Las Vegas in order to marry her.

On a second occasion, Trevino boarded a plane with the former client, knowing that the contemplated departure was a violation of her bond.

In May 1996, Trevino received a 90-day actual suspension for misconduct which included his failure to comply with conditions attached to the private reproval. He also failed to keep his membership records current with the State Bar.

In October 1996, Trevino received a one-year suspension for failing to file a satisfaction of judgment as ordered by the municipal court.

The bar court found that since Trevino defaulted in the disbarment proceedings, no mitigating or extenuating factors were presented or found.

“It would undermine the integrity of the discipline system and damage public confidence in the legal profession if [Trevino] were not disbarred for his unexplained and wilful disobedience of two Supreme Court orders,” wrote the bar court judge.

November 27, 1996

CESAR ENRIQUE TREVINO [#153117], 35, of San Diego was actually suspended for one year and until he proves his rehabilitation, and was ordered to comply with rule 955. The order took effect Nov. 27, 1996.

In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court found that Trevino failed to perform legal services and violated a court order when he did not file a satisfaction of judgment in a civil action.

Trevino has two prior disciplines. He was privately reproved in 1994 after he went to Nevada to marry a client who was granted bail on the condition that she not leave San Diego County. She later hired a new lawyer.

When he violated the conditions of his reproval, he was placed on two years of probation.

June 9, 1996

CESAR E. TREVINO [#153117], 35, of San Diego was suspended for two years, stayed, and placed on probation for two years with 90 days actual suspension, effective June 9, 1996. He was ordered to comply with rule 955.

In this decision, the hearing department of the State Bar Court found Trevino culpable of failing to comply with conditions of a Sept. 1, 1994, private reproval and failing to maintain a current address with the bar's membership office.

Considered an aggravating factor was the 1994 private reproval he received for violating Professional Rule of Conduct 3-210, which prohibits an attorney from advising the violation of any law unless the member believes in good faith that the law or ruling is invalid.

He also failed to participate in the formal disciplinary proceedings.

No mitigation was offered since Trevino did not participate in the State Bar Court's proceedings. Trevino was admitted to the bar in 1991.
