Discipline Summaries

April 2, 2008

AFTAB A. MALIK [#171926], 40, of Beverly Hills was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on two years of probation and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect April 2, 2008.

Malik stipulated to two counts of misconduct in two matters.

He handled a federal criminal appeal before the Ninth Circuit. When his client fired him, Malik failed to notify the court that he no longer represented the client. He stipulated that he improperly withdrew from representation.

In the second matter, he represented the defendant in a civil case in which the court entered a default against his client and awarded more than $733,000 to the plaintiff. On Malik’s motion, the court vacated the default but ordered Malik to pay fees and costs of more than $66,000.

He has not paid any of the order and stipulated that he failed to obey a court order.

Malik was publicly reproved in 2005. In mitigation, his clients were not harmed.
