April 13, 1997 ENRIQUE P. BIN [#48933], 60, of Los Angeles was suspended for five years, stayed, placed on five years of probation with a three-year actual suspension and until he proves rehabilitation, and was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 955. The order took effect April 13, 1997. In a proceeding consolidating four original matters, Bin misappropriated client funds over a three-year period and delayed paying out the funds in four cases. His trust account balance fell below the required amount countless times during a period of nearly two years and he wrote 106 bad checks against his client trust account. Bin also failed to turn over a file to his client as requested. In one matter, he settled a case without the client's knowledge, although Bin denies this violation. In mitigation, Bin repaid his clients, cooperated with the bar's investigation, and has practiced without any discipline since 1971. |
