Discipline Summaries
October 11, 2013 DEMAS W. YAN [#257854], 49, of San Francisco, was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on three years’ probation with an actual one-year suspension and ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. The order took effect Oct. 11, 2013. In March 2012, Yan stipulated to misconduct in one client matter: misuse of his client trust account and receiving unemployment benefits to which he was not entitled for one month. The following August, the California Supreme Court returned the matter to the State Bar for further consideration as to the appropriate level of discipline.In concluding that his misconduct warranted a one-year actual suspension, the State Bar Court found that Yan committed misconduct by not depositing $2,000 in advanced costs in his client trust account and misappropriating the $2,000. He also failed to avoid representation of adverse interests because he represented a client in one matter while suing him in another. He did not inform the client of the conflict or obtain his written consent.In addition, Yan deposited his own funds in his IOLTA account for his own use and benefit to pay his bills and claimed unemployment benefits to which he was not entitled.In mitigation, Yan was young and inexperienced at the time of his misconduct, cooperated with the State Bar by entering into a stipulation and showed remorse for his wrongdoing. |
