Discipline Summaries

December 17, 2004

JOHN ROBERT SUCKLING [#24918], 75, of San Diego was disbarred Dec. 17, 2004, and ordered to comply with rule 955.

Suckling did not comply with an earlier rule 955 requirement; he did not file with the Supreme Court an affidavit that he had notified his clients and other interested parties of his suspension from practice. The suspension was imposed in 2003 for the unauthorized practice of law.

October 11, 2003

JOHN ROBERT SUCKLING [#24918], 63, of San Diego was suspended for three years, stayed, actually suspended for 90 days and until the State Bar Court grants a motion to terminate the suspension, and was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 955. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, he must prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect Oct. 11, 2003.

The State Bar Court found that Suckling practiced law while suspended for not paying his bar dues or completing his MCLE requirements.

He drafted a family trust for clients who paid him $750 in legal fees. They paid another $690 for Suckling to handle the transfer of property into the trust. He did not return two phone calls from the clients, but eventually sent them a quitclaim deed for their signatures.

The deed was never recorded.
