March 25, 2015 MICHAEL KENNETH BEYRIES [#187562], 66, of Santa Rosa, was disbarred March 25, 2015 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court and make restitution. Beyries was disbarred after his default was entered for failing to appear at trial in his disciplinary case. Because he did not seek to have the default set aside or vacated within 90 days as required under rule 5.85 of the State Bar’s Rules of Procedure, he was disbarred and the charges against him were deemed admitted.Beyries misappropriated $25,000 intended for client Northbay Wellness Group’s defense for his own use. In addition, he failed to perform legal services competently, misrepresented the status of the company’s lease and misrepresented that he’d filed the appropriate nonprofit and tax-exempt documents and that the company was a nonprofit and tax-exempt organization. He also failed to return unearned legal fees or render accounts of client funds.Beyries was ordered to pay $13,438.50 plus interest in restitution. |
