Discipline Summaries

March 18, 2016

DOMINIQUE NGHI THIEU [#236914], 41, of Fountain Valley, was disbarred March 18, 2016 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court.

Thieu admitted misappropriating $25,000 of her client’s funds in February 2012. In 2010, she agreed to represent a client and help him recover money owed to him by another man. After paying the client some of the money from his settlement, minus her fees, Thieu misappropriated $25,000 from a second settlement check. The money was used for Thieu’s personal and office expenses. Thieu later wrote the client a check from her business account which was returned due to insufficient funds.

Some 11 months after learning about the State Bar complaint against her, Thieu sent the client a cashier’s check for $30,000.

Thieu received some mitigation for having no prior record of discipline, good character and remorse and recognition of her wrongdoing.
