November 3, 1995 LYLE L. BLANE [#34384], 64, of Glendale was suspended for 90 days, stayed, and placed on probation for two years. The order took effect Nov. 3, 1995. Blane negotiated a stipulated award in a workers' compensation matter and signed his client's name without informing his client. The stipulation was later vacated when the judge learned the signature on the agreement was not the client's. As a result, the client's disability rating was lowered. By his conduct, Blane failed to keep the client informed of developments in his case, appeared without his client's authority and sought to mislead a judicial officer. In a second workers' comp case, Blane filed with an appeals board copies of a rejected settlement offer that contained his client's forged signatures. Blane received a public reproval in 1988 for driving under the influence. In mitigation, his actions were calculated to achieve the best possible results for his clients. |
