January 10, 2014 LESLIE CLARKE ROUNTREE II [#51477], 70, of Fresno was disbarred Jan. 2, 2014 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court and make restitution. Although he had notice of the date, Rountree failed to show up for trial to face disciplinary charges that he failed to perform with competence, failed to refund unearned fees, shared legal fees with a non-lawyer, commingled personal funds in his client trust account, failed to maintain client funds in a trust account and engaged in an act of moral turpitude. Rountree’s default was entered, and he did not seek to have the default set aside within 90 days as required under rule 5.85 of the State Bar Rules of Procedure. As a result, he was disbarred and the charges were deemed admitted. Rountree was ordered to pay $1,500 plus interest in restitution. |
