Discipline Summaries
May 11, 2000 MARCI A. SANDOVAL [#154001], 50, of Berea, Ky., was disbarred May 11, 2000, and was ordered to comply with rule 955. Sandoval violated rule 955 by failing to submit to the Supreme Court an affidavit stating that she notified opposing counsel and other pertinent parties of her suspension from practice in 1998. That discipline was imposed in a default proceeding after a finding that she failed to communicate with a client, twice withdrew from employment without protecting her client’s interests and failed to return unearned fees.In another discipline proceeding, Sandoval was found to have committed acts of moral turpitude, using her client trust account to pay personal obligations, issuing checks against insufficient funds in her trust account and twice failing to cooperate with a bar investigation of her conduct.She did not participate in the disbarment proceeding.March 5, 1998 MARCI A. SANDOVAL [#154001], 47, of Berea, Ky., was suspended for two years, stayed, and placed on probation for two years with an actual suspension of 30 days, effective March 5, 1998. She was ordered to pass the MPRE. In this default decision, Sandoval was found culpable of failure to perform, communicate, refund unearned fees and improper withdrawal from employment. In two separate instances, Sandoval failed to file bankruptcy petitions and moved to Kentucky without informing her clients. She did not return their unearned legal fees. Considered in aggravation was Sandoval's failure to respond to the State Bar's notice of disciplinary charges prior to the entry of default. In addition, her actions involved multiple acts of misconduct and she made no effort to rectify the consequences of her actions. Because Sandoval had been admitted to practice for only three years at the time of her misconduct, her prior discipline-free record was not accorded any weight in mitigation. |
