Discipline Summaries
October 23, 2008 TODD CLARK DAVIS [#186531], 42, of Riverside was disbarred Oct. 23, 2008, and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20. In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court found that Davis failed to comply with rule 955 of the California Rules of Court (since renumbered as rule 9.20) by failing to submit an affidavit to the bar court stating that he notified his clients, opposing counsel and other pertinent parties of his suspension. Failure to comply with the rule is grounds for disbarment.In the underlying discipline, imposed in 2007, Davis had committed four acts of misconduct: failing to perform legal services competently, communicate with a client, refund $2,500 in unearned fees or cooperate with the bar’s investigation. He also was disciplined earlier in 2007 for misleading a client, an act of moral turpitude, and not cooperating with the bar’s investigation.September 23, 2007 TODD CLARK DAVIS [#186531], 41, of Riverside was suspended for two years, stayed, and actually suspended for 60 days and until the State Bar Court grants a motion to terminate the suspension.
