Discipline Summaries

June 22, 2003

KEVIN M. KNEBEL [#189165], 46, of Monrovia was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on one year of probation and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect June 22, 2003.

Knebel stipulated to misconduct in two matters; in both cases he failed to perform legal services competently, shared fees with a non-lawyer, improperly withdrew from employment and received fees from someone other than the client.

In both matters, the clients hired an immigration consultant and paid him to hire a lawyer. The consultant paid Knebel an appearance fee of $150 in both instances. After making the initial appearance, he failed to appear at subsequent hearings or do any more work.

One client was ordered to leave the country and the other learned about the dismissal of her case only after she hired a new lawyer.

In mitigation, Knebel cooperated with the bar’s investigation.
