April 25, 2014 GORDON DEAN BROWN [#171745], 68 of Oakland was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on two years’ probation with an actual 60-day suspension and ordered to take the MPRE. The order took effect April 25, 2014. Brown stipulated to misconduct in one client matter: failing to perform legal services with competence, moral turpitude and representing three family members without explaining the potential conflict or getting their written consent.In March 2011, Brown agreed to represent a woman and her three adult daughters in a matter arising out of an auto accident. From June 16, 2011 through Jan. 7, 2013, one of the insurance companies sent Brown 13 letters requesting his client’s medical records, but he did not respond. On Jan. 16, he showed up at the mother’s home with what he said was a release to settle the case. In fact, neither the other driver nor her insurance company had agreed to settle the case and Brown made the document to mislead the clients.In mitigation, Brown had no prior record of discipline and entered into a pretrial stipulation with the State Bar. |
