Discipline Summaries
July 2, 2000 DAVID J. EDLOW [#160199], 44, of Santa Rosa was suspended for four years, stayed, placed on four years of probation with an actual two-year suspension, and was ordered to make restitution, prove his rehabilitation, take the MPRE and comply with rule 955. The order took effect July 2, 2000. Edlow stipulated to misconduct in four matters, involving his handling of client funds.In one matter, he commingled personal and client funds in his client trust account and wrote five checks against insufficient funds.In three matters, he properly deposited settlement monies in his client trust account and paid his clients what they were owed, but he failed to pay medical liens and allowed the balance in his trust account to fall below the required amount. He stipulated to three counts of misappropriating the proceeds of settlement drafts, amounting to about $15,000. Misappropriation is an act of moral turpitude.In another case, he failed to have a settlement draft properly endorsed and deposited in his trust account; the check was then canceled by the insurance company. He also did not pay the medical lienholder in that matter.In mitigation, Edlow’s financial situation as a sole practitioner was extremely tenuous at the time of his misconduct and he was looking for a more dependable source of income. He also cooperated with the bar’s investigation. |
