Discipline Summaries

October 21, 2010

DAVID CRAIG STELZER [#189836], 39, of Los Angeles was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on two years of probation and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect Oct. 21, 2010.

Stelzer successfully completed the Alternative Discipline Program (ADP) for attorneys with substance abuse or mental health issues. He stipulated that he failed to properly maintain funds in his client trust account, commingled funds in the account and committed an act of moral turpitude by misappropriating at least $3,000 of client funds.

He had deposited a check for about $5,000 from an insurance company for his client in his trust account and took $2,000 for his fees. However, before paying his client’s doctors, he allowed the balance to fall to $36.83.

He also wrote a check against insufficient funds in the trust account, deposited more than $7,800 of his own money into the account and wrote checks for office and personal expenses.

In mitigation, he has no prior discipline record and cooperated with the bar’s investigation.
