Discipline Summaries

September 13, 1997

JOHN VINCENT HANAHAN [#154287], 31, of San Francisco was disbarred Sept. 13, 1997, and ordered to comply with rule 955 of the California Rules of Court.

Hanahan’s problems stem from a 1993 conviction in Placer County for vehicular manslaughter while driving drunk. The State Bar Court found that his conduct amounted to moral turpitude and gave him a stayed two-year suspension, an actual nine-month suspension, and placed him on probation.

When he violated the terms of his disciplinary probation, the stayed suspension was revoked and he was suspended for 15 months and ordered to comply with rule 955 by notifying all pertinent parties of his suspension and filing an affidavit to that effect with the Supreme Court. His failure to do so led to the disbarment.

Hanahan "was admitted to practice for a very short time before his misconduct commenced," wrote bar court Judge Nancy Roberts Lonsdale in recommending disbarment. "He has demonstrated an unwillingness to comply with his professional obligations and the rules of conduct required of attorneys in California."

September 5, 1996

The probation of JOHN VINCENT HANAHAN [#154287], 30, of San Francisco was revoked and the previously ordered stay of suspension lifted, effective Sept. 5, 1996.

Hanahan was actually suspended for 15 months and ordered to comply with rule 955.

Hanahan's current misconduct involves his failure to file two quarterly probation reports and submit a criminal probation statement, conditions of a January 1995 disciplinary order.

At that time, Hanahan received a two-year stayed suspension, with three years probation and nine months actual suspension. He was disciplined following his 1993 guilty plea to drunk driving and vehicular manslaughter while under the influence of alcohol.

One of Hanahan's friends, a passenger in the car he was driving, was killed when the auto swerved and hit a telephone pole and a tree.

Hanahan was admitted to the bar in 1991.
