Discipline Summaries

September 20, 2012

PHILIP DEITCH, 80, of Santa Monica was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on three years of probation with a 90-day actual suspension and he was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 and take the MPRE. The order took effect Sept. 20, 2012, with the exception of the actual suspension and compliance with rule 9.20, which became effective Nov. 1, 2012.

Deitch stipulated that he commingled funds in his client trust account by using the account to pay non-client related expenses, including checks to his wife, an employee, for rent and to the Internal Revenue Service.

In mitigation, Deitch cooperated with the bar’s investigation, changed his office procedures, and he and his wife both had serious health problems. At the time he wrote the checks from his trust account, it held no client funds and thus no clients were harmed.

He has a record of three prior disciplines, beginning in 1982, for failures to perform legal services competently, return client files, promptly pay client funds or take steps to protect his client’s interests when his representation ended.
