January 8, 1997 LAURENCE EUGENE CLARK [#32093], 68, of Monterey Park was suspended for six months, stayed, and placed on probation for two years, effective Jan. 8, 1997. He was ordered to pass the MPRE. In one instance, Clark failed to seek required court approval for attorney fees he received after settling an estate matter. In another instance, he failed to properly withdraw from a case involving a lease dispute. In a third matter, he failed to properly supervise a non-attorney employee responsible for maintaining his client trust account. At one point, two checks written to satisfy medical liens bounced. In aggravation, Clark's misconduct involved multiple acts of wrongdoing. In mitigation, Clark has been a member of the State Bar since 1962, with no prior record of discipline. He also took steps to demonstrate his remorse by satisfying medical liens after his trust fund checks bounced. |
