February 3, 2002 HARRY DELBERT WELKER [156867], 61, of Sandy, Utah, was suspended for three years, stayed, placed on probation for four years with an actual 18-month suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 955. The order took effect Feb. 3, 2002. In examining two complaints in California and the record of a disciplinary proceeding that occurred in Salt Lake County, Utah, Welker stipulated that he commingled funds, writing checks to family members, travel agencies, restaurants and retail stores from client trust accounts, and failed to pay client funds as requested by his client. The court found that Welker failed to report the Utah discipline to the State Bar of California within 30 days of the time he had knowledge of the imposition of discipline.Welker stipulated to aggravating circumstances in one of the complaints where he accepted a settlement on behalf of a client without the client's authorization and that was unacceptable to the client. He further stipulated that his attempts to set aside the dismissal were so delayed that the client died without knowing that his cause had been reactivated, thereby diminishing the value of the cause of action to the detriment of the client's widow. |
