Discipline Summaries
June 22, 2012 HERBERT DAVIS, 76, of Tarzana was disbarred June 22, 2012, and was ordered to make restitution and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. Davis stipulated to 84 counts of misconduct in 35 matters, most involving clients who hired him to help them resolve credit card disputes. The misconduct included failures to perform legal services competently, refund unearned fees, respond to clients’ reasonable status requests or account for client funds, and he did not notify either the State Bar or the clients that he employed a resigned attorney. He also wrote checks against insufficient funds in his client trust account.Davis’ fee agreement specified that his fee, including the money needed to settle all the debts, would be 40 percent of the clients’ total debt. The clients then provided monthly payments to Davis. Although Davis sent checks to the credit card companies that stated that depositing the check would constitute full satisfaction of the disputed debt, the companies applied the checks only to interest owed and did not consider the debts to be satisfied. Davis did not negotiate or obtain a resolution of any client’s credit card problems and although he provided some refunds, he owes at least $623,717 to 37 clients.The misconduct took place over two and a half years, and although Davis was able to help some people discharge their debts, credit card companies began to contest his method of resolution. He has stopped representing people with credit card disputes. Davis practiced for 47 years without any discipline. |
