February 14, 2013 MATTHEW JOHN ERWIN [#198280], 38, of Orange was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years of probation with a six-month actual suspension and he was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. The order took effect Feb. 14, 2013.

He was behaving erratically and parked so that his car blocked northbound lanes of the Pacific Coast Highway. When an off-duty fireman who was riding a motorcycle stopped out of concern for Erwin’s safety and concern that he might be suicidal, Erwin tried to run him down with his car.He fled the scene and was stopped, standing through the sunroof of his car, yelling and shaking his fists at other cars. He fled again when a police officer approached, throwing an open beer can from his car. After he was arrested, tests found the presence of marijuana and a trace amount of alcohol in Erwin’s system.In the second matter, Erwin was convicted in 2011 of two misdemeanor violations for public nudity after exposing himself twice in separate incidents hours apart.Erwin received limited mitigation for cooperating with the bar’s investigation and for 12 years of discipline-free practice.
