January 9, 2011 The probation of SUSAN ANGELA CALLENDER [#187501], 48, of Oakland was revoked, she was placed on one year of probation and suspended for six months and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. The order took effect Jan. 9, 2011. Callender violated the terms of a 2009 disciplinary order by failing to contact the Office of Probation by the required deadline or submit two quarterly reports. The underlying discipline was imposed for unauthorized practice of law and failure to return unearned fees.December 17, 2009 SUSAN ANGELA CALLENDER [#187501], 47, of San Francisco was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on one year of probation and was ordered to make restitution and take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect Dec. 17, 2009. Callender stipulated to three counts of misconduct in two matters.She practiced law while suspended for failing to comply with MCLE requirements. Because she did not keep her address current with the State Bar, she did not receive letters warning her of the impending suspension and was unaware of her status.She withdrew a lawsuit she filed while suspended. The opposing counsel advised the court Callender was ineligible to practice. She did not file a responsive pleading to a motion to strike or address the court regarding her suspension, but she withdrew the complaint. The clients consented to the dismissal and Callender was unable to negotiate a settlement. She withdrew from the case and offered to refund her $2,000 fee but ultimately did not do so.Callender stipulated that she practiced while suspended, didn’t keep her address up-to-date with the bar and failed to refund unearned fees.In mitigation, she cooperated with the bar’s investigation, offered testimony about her good character, had physical disabilities that both led to her changing jobs and contributed to her failure to update her membership records. Once she learned she was not eligible to practice, she immediately took steps to remedy the situation. |
