Discipline Summaries

November 8, 2009

ERNEST R. KRAUSE [#56343], 63, of Sacramento was suspended for three years, stayed, placed on three years of probation with a 30-day actual suspension and he was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. Credit was given for several weeks of involuntary inactive enrollment in 2008. The order took effect Nov. 8, 2009.

Krause successfully completed the Alternative Discipline Program after demonstrating that his mental health issues were the cause of his misconduct. He had stipulated in 2005 to misconduct in two client matters, including forming a partnership with a non-lawyer, sharing legal fees with a non-lawyer, failing to perform competently and failing to communicate with a client.

He had formed a partnership with a non-lawyer whom he allowed to be a signatory on the client trust account. By allowing checks totaling more than $104,000 to be written against the trust account, Krause illegally split fees with a non-lawyer.

In a workers’ compensation matter, he did not do the work he was hired to do.

In mitigation, he had practiced law for more than 20 years without a discipline record, participated in the Lawyer Assistance Program, cooperated with the bar’s investigation and had severe financial problems at the time of the misconduct.
