Discipline Summaries
April 11, 2014 GARY LANE [#50960], 68, of Irvine was disbarred April 11, 2014 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court and to make restitution. A State Bar Court judge found Lane culpable of charging upfront fees for loan modification work, seeking to mislead a judge, moral turpitude, improper withdrawal from employment and failing to perform legal services with competence, return unearned fees, render appropriate accounts or communicate. Lane also failed to provide clients with a statement informing them it was not necessary to hire a third party to arrange for a loan modification. The charges stemmed from 16 client matters.In 2008, Lane founded Consumer Protection Legal Services, a company in the business of performing loan modifications. As the result of a change in the law Lane began telling clients seeking loan modifications that he needed to file a lawsuit on their behalf to protect their rights. Clients were initially charged a flat fee to file the lawsuit, but were then charged additional fees for subsequent court appearances, between $950 and $1,500. The lawsuits had little chance of success and made claims that were without merit.Lane was ordered to pay $123,576 plus interest in restitution.He received limited mitigation for having no prior record of discipline in 37 years of practicing law, good character and entering into a stipulation with the State Bar. |
