Discipline Summaries

March 16, 2013

PHICH KONG TAING [#244372], 33, of Alhambra, was disbarred March 16, 2013, and was ordered to make restitution and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court.

Taing’s default was entered in 2012 after numerous attempts to serve him with notices of disciplinary charges failed. The State Bar sent letters, emails and tried to reach Taing by phone to notify him of disciplinary proceedings against him involving 10 acts of misconduct in three matters. Taing failed to participate in disciplinary proceedings either in person or through counsel and did not move to have the default set aside within 180 days and was disbarred under rule 5.85 of the bar’s Rules of Procedure. The charges are deemed admitted.

In the three client matters, Taing committed acts involving moral turpitude, dishonesty or corruption by misappropriating nearly $30,000 in client funds, failing to maintain client funds in trust, and failing to cooperate with a State Bar investigation. He also failed to release a client file in one of the matters.

Taing was ordered to pay restitution of $30,125 to his clients, plus interest.
