Discipline Summaries
October 30, 2014 ADLORE VIRGIL CLARAMBEAU [#174540], 59, of Nashville, Tenn. was disbarred Oct. 30, 2014 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court and make restitution. Clarambeau stipulated to 29 counts of misconduct in 13 loan modification matters and one bankruptcy case. The State Bar Court initially recommended he receive a 120-day suspension, but the California Supreme Court returned the matter for further consideration. A hearing judge then recommended his disbarment after weighing the victim impact statements and the harm Clarambeau had done.Clarambeau appealed the disbarment recommendation, arguing that the judge erred by admitting the victim impact statements and that the discipline was excessive because it was his first offense. A three-judge review panel affirmed the hearing judge’s recommendation, concluding that Clarambeau “habitually disregarded his clients’ interests; for two years, he collected illegal fees, performed incompetently and failed to pay more than $35,000 in restitution to 13 clients.â€Despite being licensed to practice law only in California, in 2009 Clarambeau sent out marketing materials offering loan modifications to out-of-state residents. He entered into agreements with at least seven residents of other states and collected between $1,500 and $3,700 in advanced fees from them for loan modification work. In addition, Clarambeau was found culpable of 15 counts of misconduct in seven California client matters and one bankruptcy filing.He was ordered to pay $35,250 plus interest in restitution.In mitigation, Clarambeau had no prior record of discipline and cooperated with the State Bar. |
