July 26, 2014 M. IRENE DANIEL [#163403], 58, of South Pasadena, was disbarred July 26, 2014 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court and make restitution. Daniel was disbarred after her default was entered for failing to respond to charges that she committed four acts of misconduct in one client matter. Because she did not seek to have the default set aside within 180 days, as required under rule 5.85 of the State Bar’s Rules of Procedure, she was disbarred and the charges against her were deemed admitted.Daniel failed to perform legal services with competence by not filing an adequate dissolution judgment package for the client’s divorce case and by failing to complete the dissolution, respond to her client’s reasonable status inquiries in the matter, render appropriate accounts or return $4,000 in unearned advanced fees paid by her client.She was ordered to pay $4,000 plus interest in restitution. |
