Discipline Summaries
August 16, 1998 KENNETH P. SAMMUT [#175669], 30, of Sacramento was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on probation for three years with a six-month actual suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE within a year and comply with rule 955. The order took effect Aug. 16, 1998. In two default matters, the State Bar Court found that Sammut committed numerous acts of misconduct which began less than a year after he was admitted to practice. The wrongdoing includes four instances of failure to perform legal services competently, one count of failure to communicate with a client, one count of failure to return a client's file, and five counts of failure to cooperate with the bar's investigation.Three other charges of failure to perform were dismissed by the court.In most of the cases, Sammut represented defendants on DUI charges.He twice advised clients not to appear at hearings, but he did not appear either. As a result, his clients' driver's licenses were suspended.Although the court found Sammut's actions serious, it also said his misconduct could be remedied if Sammut begins to honor his professional obligations. He apparently was given little training or supervision at his law firm, and the court urged him to educate himself about proper law office management and client service. |
