Discipline Summaries

February 14, 2014

ANTHONY JOSEPH KASSAS [#227647], 37, of San Francisco was disbarred Feb. 14, 2014 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court and pay restitution.

Kassas was disbarred after his default was entered when he failed to appear at trial and personally appear for a hearing. As a result, a judge struck his responses to the disciplinary charges. Because he did not move to have the default set aside within 180 days as required under rule 5.85 of the Rules of Procedure, he was disbarred and the charges against him were deemed admitted.

Kassas was convicted on two separate occasions of violating a protective order. In a separate matter he was charged with 52 counts of improper solicitation, 65 counts of aiding in the unauthorized practice of law, 56 counts of charging upfront fees for loan modification services, 56 counts of failure to render appropriate accounts, 55 counts of moral turpitude, five counts of failure to perform legal services with competence, three counts of failure to return unearned fees, one count of forming a partnership with a non-lawyer and one count of sharing fees with non-lawyers.

Kassas was ordered to pay $201,706 plus interest in restitution.
