Discipline Summaries
July 27, 1997 PAULA FRANCES SCHMIDT [#56075], 50, of Woodside was disbarred July 27, 1997, and ordered to comply with rule 955. Schmidt was ordered to comply with rule 955 last year when she was placed on actual suspension for one year. She did not notify pertinent parties of her suspension or file the required affidavit with the Supreme Court.Schmidt's discipline problems began with a 1993 public reproval for failure to perform legal services competently and failing to cooperate with the bar's investigation. When she violated a probation condition, she was suspended and placed on two years of probation. It was her failure to comply with the conditions of that probation that led to her suspension for one year, which in turn led to the disbarment.She also has been enrolled inactive three times since 1993 for failing to pay bar dues and pass the professional responsibility exam.August 16, 1996 The probation of PAULA F. SCHMIDT [#56075], 45, of Woodside was revoked and the previously ordered stay of suspension lifted, effective Aug. 16, 1996. Schmidt was actually suspended for one year with credit for the period of inactive enrollment ordered in the probation violation matter. She was ordered to comply with rule 955. Schmidt failed to timely file three probation reports, a requirement of a 1994 disciplinary order.In that disciplinary matter, Schmidt received a one-year stayed suspension, with two years probation and a 60-day actual suspension, for failure to comply with a condition of a 1993 public reproval.She received the reproval for failing to perform legal services competently, communicate with her client and cooperate with the State Bar.Schmidt's prior record of discipline was considered an aggravating factor in the current proceedings, as was her violation of probation on multiple occasions over a significant period of time.No mitigating circumstances were established. |
