Discipline Summaries

January 18, 2013

THOMAS JAMES WALLACE [#220396], 39, of Bakersfield was disbarred Jan. 18, 2013, and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court.

Wallace did not respond to disciplinary charges filed against him in 2011 and his default was entered. Because he made no effort to set aside the default within 180 days, he was disbarred under rule 5.85 of the State Bar’s Rules of Procedure.

He misused his client trust account by failing to withdraw client funds at the earliest possible time and he used the account to pay personal expenses. He also did not cooperate with the bar’s investigation.
