Discipline Summaries
February 6, 2016 SHERMAN L. LISTER [#38616], 80, of Woodland Hills, was disbarred Feb. 6, 2016 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. Lister did not respond to a notice of disciplinary charges and his default was entered. When he did not seek to have the default set aside or vacated within 90 days, as required under rule 5.85 of the State Bar’s Rules of Procedure, he was disbarred and the charges against him deemed admitted.Lister’s misconduct involved one client matter. He allowed a non-lawyer to provide legal advice to his client, failed to properly supervise her when she worked on his client’s divorce matter and shared fees with a non-lawyer. He also failed to prosecute a personal injury matter or provide accounts of client funds. In addition, he filed a stipulation purportedly signed by his client, but the signature was false. He also misrepresented to the court his client’s income and expenses, breached confidentiality, appeared on his client’s behalf without authority and provided false and misleading billing statements.Lister had three prior records of discipline: a 1978 private reproval for client trust account violations and failure to pay client funds in two client matters; a 1990 suspension for failure to perform services competently, improper withdrawal from employment, client trust account violations and failure to promptly return client files, return unearned fees, communicate or cooperate with the State Bar; and a 1991 suspension for client trust account violations, improper withdrawal from employment and failure to promptly return client files. |
