Discipline Summaries

August 22, 1997

IRWIN FRIEDMAN [#35753], 62, of Gardena was suspended for 30 days, stayed, placed on one year of probation, and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year and to make restitution. The order took effect Aug. 22, 1997.

Friedman stipulated that in a personal injury case in which he and his client agreed to repay money owed to an insurer, he failed to disclose in writing the terms of the repayment agreement. He also did not advise his client to seek independent counsel or obtain his client’s written consent to the terms of the transaction.

In another case, Friedman’s clients advanced $5,000 as attorney’s fees and $5,000 for other fees and costs. Friedman did not perform the legal services for which he was hired, provide an accounting of the fees or repay funds advanced for costs.

In mitigation, Friedman suffered from chronic depression at the time and was distracted by serious family and emotional problems. He has practiced law since 1964 without any discipline and cooperated with the bar’s investigation.
