Discipline Summaries
April 16, 1998 LEO FASEN [#53023], 51, of Beverly Hills was suspended for three months, stayed, and placed on a year of probation consecutive to that imposed in a 1995 case. The order took effect April 16, 1998. Fasen stipulated to misconduct in two matters. In a slip and fall case he accepted on a contingency basis, Fasen failed to file a claim with a municipal agency within the required six months, filed a lawsuit court without meeting the claim requirement, and failed to comply with the court's delay reduction rules by not effect-ing service of the complaint. He substituted out of the case without protecting his client's interests and without informing her of the defects in the lawsuit. Fasen failed to perform legal services in another case in which he represented the victim of an auto accident who was in a coma. Fasen settled the case for $15,000 and distributed the settlement proceeds to his client without honoring a medical lien. Fasen was disciplined in 1995 for commingling trust funds and for failing to supervise the distribution of settlement funds, which resulted in misappropriation of client funds. In mitigation, he cooperated with the bar's investigation. |
