Discipline Summaries

May 21, 2011

BRIAN IRVING GLICKER [#165866], 52, of Sherman Oaks was disbarred May 21, 2011, and was ordered to make restitution and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court.

The State Bar Court found that Glicker committed seven counts of misconduct in two matters, including misappropriating $185,000 from a trust. In that matter, he represented a client who was the trustee for a family trust in an action against her son. As part of a settlement, the son was to pay the trust $235,000.

Glicker received a check from the son for $50,000 that he deposited in his client trust account, which had a balance of $195.64. He subsequently transferred $20,000 to his general office account and wrote a $30,000 check to a client whose case was unrelated to the trust matter.

The son later made a wire transfer of $172,850.38 to Glicker’s trust account; he transferred $50,000 to his bank account, and later made two more transfers of $20,000 and $25,000. When the son made his final payment, Glicker was holding $185,000 belonging to the trust. When he was asked to distribute the funds and provide an accounting, Glicker wrote a check against his office account, but when the son tried to cash the check, he found that Glicker had stopped payment.

Judge Donald Miles found that Glicker failed to maintain client funds in trust or account for funds and he misappropriated client funds.

In a second matter, Glicker received a $35,000 settlement check on behalf of a client and after distributing $15,809 to the client, indicated he was withholding the remainder to pay two medical liens. He made no further distributions for more than three years, but when the client threatened to complain to the bar, Glicker said he’d settled the liens and the client could come to his office to receive the remaining funds. In fact, the liens were never paid and Glicker continued to hold $3,880.60 that was still owed to the client.

Miles found that Glicker misappropriated that amount and his misrepresentations about the medical liens amounted to moral turpitude. He also failed to cooperate with the bar’s investigation of either case.

In recommending disbarment, Miles wrote that Glicker “intentionally misappropriated substantial funds from two clients. He continues to withhold those funds and has demonstrated absolutely no remorse for his conduct. Instead he continues to make up stories and arguments to seek to justify his misconduct. The protection of both the public and the profession dictate that an order of disbarment be imposed.”
