Discipline Summaries
November 30, 1997 EDWARD RONALD KROPACEK [#48136] 63, of Auburn was suspended for one year, stayed, and placed on probation for three years on the condition that he is actually suspended for 90 days and until he pays the sanctions ordered by the Placer County Superior Court. If the period of actual suspension exceeds two years, he will remain actually suspended until he has shown proof of his rehabilitation and fitness to practice. He was ordered to pass the MPRE and comply with rule 955. The order was effective Nov. 30, 1997. In this default decision, Kropacek was found culpable of failing to perform legal services competently in a probate matter. Hired as the attorney of record for the conservator of an estate, he repeatedly neglected to file an estate accounting which was due in January 1994. After several failures to appear in court and sanctions amounting to $600, Kropacek eventually filed documents in July 1995. Kropacek also failed to comply with conditions of a public reproval he received in February 1995, when he neglected to file timely quarterly probation reports and provide proof of his passage of the CPRE by February 1996. Kropaceks’ prior record of discipline was considered an aggravating factor, as was his failure to participate in the disciplinary proceedings. In addition, his misconduct involved multiple acts of wrongdoing and his continued failure to provide proof of passing the CPRE were considered aggravating circumstances. Because of his default, no mitigating evidence was introduced. |
