The order took effect Jan. 10, 2014. Vogel stipulated to misconduct in two family law matters: failing to perform legal services with competence, respond promptly to reasonable status inquires of a client or render an appropriate accounting to a client. In one of the matters that led to her discipline, a client hired Vogel in 2011 to help her gain custody of her grandchild. Although the client gave Vogel all of the information needed for a petition for guardianship and Vogel knew time was of the essence, she waited nearly three months to file the petition. During that time, the client called her repeatedly but Vogel did not return the messages or otherwise provide her with an update on the status of her case. In July 2011, the client fired Vogel and requested that all unearned fees be returned. Vogel did not did not provide her with a final accounting until July 22, 2013, while disciplinary charges were pending.In the other matter, Vogel was hired in 2012 to represent a woman in divorce proceedings. For more than a month, the client tried to contact Vogel about an upcoming hearing but Vogel did not return her messages. The woman fired her as a result.In mitigation, Vogel had no prior record of discipline, was suffering from severe depression resulting from the death of her mother and entered into a pre-trial stipulation with the State Bar. |
