Discipline Summaries
February 29, 2012 JEREMY N. ROARK [#259079], 30, of Eastvale was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years of probation with a six-month actual suspension and he was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. The order took effect Feb. 29, 2012. Roark stipulated to misconduct in 19 cases, the result of his employment as “house counsel†at the National Loan Resolutions Law Center, an entity owned and operated by two non-lawyers. Roark worked there for eight months, discovering at the end of his tenure that the business performed limited loan modification services while pocketing advance fees paid by their clients. Unbeknownst to Roark, he was hired because the NLRLC owners needed a lawyer to enable them to collect advance fees. He also was unaware of Department of Real Estate requirements governing the operations of loan modification companies. Roark had no experience in loan modifications or bankruptcy law.Although Roark was the only signatory to the company’s bank account, he never made any deposits or withdrawals from the account. He eventually demanded that the company owners establish a client trust account for deposit of advance fees, but they never did so. When he later identified clients who were not going to get loan modifications, he also discovered that the company owners were not honoring their promise to make refunds. Roark filed a criminal complaint against the NLRLC owners but was unable to obtain any files. He did obtain $13,078 from the general account that he placed in trust to reimburse the 19 clients in the bar’s disciplinary case.In each case, he stipulated that he failed to perform legal services competently and failed to competently represent his employers by not advising them to uphold the law. He also stipulated to two counts of failing to respond to clients’ reasonable status inquiries.In mitigation, Roark cooperated with the bar’s investigation by turning himself in and he has been participating in the Lawyer Assistance Program for about two years. |
