Discipline Summaries

November 13, 1995

STANLEY ALAN LANGFUS [#48157], 50, of Hollywood was suspended for three years, stayed, placed on probation for five years with an actual suspension of 15 months and until he makes restitution. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, he must prove rehabilitation, fitness to practice and learning and ability in the law. He was ordered to comply with Rule 955. The order took effect Nov. 13, 1995.

In 12 consolidated cases, Langfus stipulated that he failed to communicate with clients in numerous cases, did not return their files and papers when they hired new counsel and commingled personal and business funds. Several cases he was hired to handle were dismissed for lack of prosecution.

A malpractice case was dismissed for failure to comply with a discovery order. Langfus did not tell his client the case was dismissed; instead he wrote a $25,000 "settlement" check on his client trust account.

Langfus also did not cooperate with the bar's investigation.

Langfus was suspended in 1992 for failing to perform and communicate with clients in six instances. His probation in that case was extended in 1994 when he did not file quarterly probation reports on time.

In mitigation, Langfus had to take over the practice of his sick father and was inattentive to his own practice.
