January 30, 2014 ALFRED OSHIOMELE ANYIA [#183571], 47, of North Hollywood was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years’ probation with an actual one-year suspension and ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. The order took effect Jan. 30, 2014. Anyia did not comply with the conditions of his disciplinary probation requiring him to submit properly completed quarterly reports accompanied by properly completed client funds certificates (or a statement written under penalty of perjury that he did not possess any client funds, property or securities during each relevant period).Anyia’s prior record of discipline was a 2009 suspension for misconduct associated with failing to properly maintain his client trust account.October 29, 2009 ALFRED OSHIOMELE ANYIA [#183571], 44, of North Hollywood was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on three years of probation with a six-month actual suspension and he must take the MPRE within one year and comply with rule 9.20. The order took effect Oct. 29, 2009. Anyia stipulated to three counts of misconduct associated with failing to properly maintain his client trust account. He committed acts of moral turpitude by issuing four checks against insufficient funds in the account and failing to properly maintain client funds or supervise employees who disbursed the funds, and he failed to maintain the proper balance for a client he represented in a personal injury case.His client was sued by a collection agency for an unpaid medical bill, although he had negotiated a lower bill and paid the doctor. The check was never cashed. He also allowed the balance in the trust account to fall below the required amount and did not cover some costs for almost five years.In mitigation, Anyia was out of the country for long periods of time tending to his deceased father’s estate, took steps to remedy his management problems, had reduced his fees while representing the client in order that she could repair her car and he made restitution. |
