Discipline Summaries

January 9, 2009

DAWNA SCOTT ANDERSEN [#186874], 42, of Beaverton, Ore. was summarily disbarred Jan. 9, 2009, and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20.

Anderson pleaded guilty in 2007 to one count of first degree forgery. The conviction meets the requirements for summary disbarment — it was a felony that involved moral turpitude. Anderson has been on interim suspension since 2007.

November 4, 2007

DAWNA SCOTT ANDERSEN [#186874], 41, of Tigard, Ore was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on two years of probation with a 90-day actual suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year and comply with rule 9.20. The order took effect Nov. 4, 2007. Andersen was disciplined in Oregon in 2006 for failing to deposit or maintain client funds in a trust account, improperly withdrawing funds from her trust account for reimbursement of court reporter costs and for failing to cooperate with the Oregon bar’s investigation.

Had the misconduct been committed in California, it would have led to discipline.

In mitigation, Andersen has no prior discipline record, cooperated with the bar’s investigation and made restitution to the court reporter service.
