Discipline Summaries
July 13, 2011 ROBERT DUANE GEORGE [#185306], 49, of Hermosa Beach was disbarred July 13, 2011, and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court found that George failed to file a rule 9.20 affidavit, as required by a 2010 disciplinary order. He did not file with the court a declaration that he notified his clients, opposing counsel and other interested parties of his suspension. Failure to comply with the rule is grounds for disbarment.The underlying discipline was imposed when George failed to communicate with a client, perform services competently, account for client funds, return an unearned $5,000 fee, return the client’s file or cooperate with the bar’s investigation.In recommending George’s disbarment, Judge Richard Honn wrote that his “misconduct, his prior discipline and his failure to participate in this case demonstrate his inability or unwillingness to comply with his professional obligations.â€March 20, 2010 ROBERT DUANE GEORGE [#185306], 48, of Hermosa Beach was suspended for three years, stayed, actually suspended for 90 days and until he makes restitution and the State Bar Court grants a motion to terminate the suspension, and he was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. The order took effect March 20, 2010. In a default proceeding, the bar court found that George committed five acts of misconduct in one matter and failed to cooperate with the bar’s investigation.He was hired to help a client administer her deceased husband’s trust. Although the client paid an advance $5,000 fee, he never returned numerous phone calls or met with the client. When she fired him, he didn’t refund or account for the unearned fee or return her file. Judge Donald Miles also found that George failed to perform legal services competently.In mitigation, he practiced for 11 years without a discipline record. |
