Discipline Summaries
December 17, 2009 ROBERT PARKER MILLS [#48342], 65, of Manhattan Beach was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on two years of probation and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect Dec. 17, 2009. Mills stipulated that he committed acts of moral turpitude by helping a woman create a phony invoice for an insurance claim. The woman had purchased a renters’ insurance policy from State Farm and less than a month later made a claim for items allegedly stolen by her former roommate. She twice amended the claim, which eventually was for $165,753.Mills told the insurance adjustor that he was helping the woman prepare the inventory but he didn’t want his name on any of the papers. The insurance company wrote a check for $28,212 to the woman and her sister based on the original inventory. She later provided more receipts, but they were copies rather than originals, some were handwritten with no sales tax and some appeared to be in the same handwriting but from different stores. The insurance company asked for original receipts.The renter provided what she said was an original invoice for an antique picture frame. According to the stipulation, Mills and the woman created the invoice with the intent of misleading State Farm into believing the frame was purchased for $850. She then submitted an invoice with the identical number for an antique bicycle ($3,000) and antique wall sconces ($2,500).Although Mills told State Farm he was assisting the woman as a friend, he eventually said he was her attorney and requested additional information.Mills told State Farm his client’s sister, with whom she shared the insurance policy, had died in Iran and he asked that a check be reissued just to the client. State Farm gave her a check for $12,521 for three items and declined payment for other items on the inventory because of insufficient proof of purchase.More than a year after the original claim, Mills submitted to State Farm a 13-page single spaced list of corrections and additions to the inventory and threatened to sue for bad faith. State Farm denied the claim, concluding that it was fraudulent and that the client had made misrepresentations and concealed material facts. It voided the renter’s policy.A different lawyer sued State Farm on the client’s behalf, but during a deposition, Mills admitted he and the client created a false invoice for the picture frame. He attempted to conceal that information in two letters he wrote to State Farm. The suit was dismissed.In mitigation, Mills practiced since 1971 without a discipline record, he cooperated with the bar’s investigation and his client was not harmed. |
