Discipline Summaries
June 17, 2016 LLOYD DOUGLAS BROWN [#44908], 73, of Encino, was disbarred June 17, 2016 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court and make restitution. Brown appealed a State Bar Court hearing judge’s decision finding him culpable of intentional misappropriation and recommending his disbarment, but a three-judge review panel found the evidence clearly and convincingly supported the judge’s findings.In May 2012, Brown was asked to serve as escrow agent for a commercial transaction involving a longtime client and tasked with holding $22,500 in escrow. Although he was supposed to wait for authorization, Brown distributed the money to the client and to himself to cover some of the client’s longstanding legal bills. He did not tell the other party that the money was gone and did not respond to requests to return the funds.Brown later claimed he would repay the missing money plus an additional $5,000 to cover interest but never followed through.In mitigation, Brown had a long history of discipline-free practice and cooperated with the State Bar. He also received some mitigating credit for physical difficulties he was suffering and for community service. |
