December 3, 2009 MATTHEW B. WEBER [#202719], 37, of El Segundo was suspended for two years, stayed, and was placed on three years of probation with a one-year actual suspension and until he proves his rehabilitation. The order took effect Dec. 3, 2009. Weber did not timely comply with rule 9.20, as ordered in a 2006 default disciplinary decision. He did not submit to the State Bar Court an affidavit stating that he notified his clients, opposing counsel and other pertinent parties of his suspension.He was living in a Salvation Army drug rehab facility at the time, trying to overcome a longstanding drug problem, and was unaware of the requirement and had no computer access. He prepared and mailed the initial compliance declaration as soon as he could access a computer, but it was 37 days late. The affidavit was rejected six days later, but Weber prepared a new declaration the same day.In mitigation, Weber showed good faith, no clients were harmed, he cooperated with the bar’s investigation and he took steps to demonstrate remorse.The underlying discipline was imposed for abandoning clients, commingling entrusted funds, disobeying court orders, not reporting sanctions, fee splitting, committing acts of moral turpitude, and failing to cooperate with the State Bar’s investigation. |
