January 9, 2015 SEAN PATRICK SALMON [#202445], 47, of Carlsbad, was disbarred Jan. 9, 2015 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court and pay restitution. Salmon was disbarred after his default was entered for failing to participate in a disciplinary proceeding against him. Because he did not seek to have the default set aside within 180 days as required by rule 5.85 of the State Bar’s Rules of Procedure, he was disbarred and the charges against him were deemed admitted. Salmon was charged with 34 counts of misconduct stemming from 10 different client matters. They included: aiding in the unauthorized practice of law, misappropriation, moral turpitude, improper withdrawal, commingling and failing to perform legal services with competence, communicate, release a client file, refund unearned fees, cooperate in a State Bar investigation, maintain client funds in trust or promptly pay client funds. He was ordered to pay $18,440 plus interest in restitution. |
