Discipline Summaries

March 7, 2006

JOHN CARLOS MONTANO JR. [#166382], 38, of San Clemente was placed on interim suspension March 7, 2006, following his conviction for felony driving under the influence with three priors. He was ordered to comply with rule 955.

February 11, 2004

JOHN CARLOS MONTANO JR. [#166382], 36, of Santa Ana was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on five years of probation with a 90-day actual suspension and until he proves his rehabilitation, and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. Credit shall be given for the period of interim suspension from Aug. 10, 2002 – June 11, 2003. The order took effect Feb. 11, 2004.

Montano was convicted in 2002 of possession of a controlled substance (GBL, a drug that cannot be purchased in California) and driving under the influence, with an enhancement for two prior DUIs within the previous seven years. The State Bar Court found that Montano’s conduct did not involve moral turpitude but did warrant discipline.

In mitigation, Montano cooperated with the bar’s investigation.
