Discipline Summaries

September 21, 2006

RONALD GERSON GABLER [#57061], 60, of Encino was suspended for three years, stayed, placed on three years of probation and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year and prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect Sept. 21, 2006.

Gabler was retained by a disabled client to enforce her claim for dependent child benefits from the City of Los Angeles. The client is the legally adopted daughter of a deceased fire fighter and has developmental disorders, borderline autism and dyslexia and is unable to read, write or process information correctly.

Before signing a contingent fee agreement, Gabler stipulated, he had never before handled a claim for dependent child benefits due from the city, nor consulted with a lawyer who knew the field. Had he acquired the necessary learning and skill, he would have known the matter required very little work and that a contingency fee agreement was inappropriate.

The client’s application, which was filed before she hired Gabler, was approved without discussion. Including retroactive benefits, the client received a first check for $145,653. Of that, Gabler kept $48,551 as his fee. He stipulated that having spent no more than 80 hours on the case, he received at least $28,000 in excess fees.

Gabler failed to perform legal services competently.

In mitigation, he had no prior discipline record since his 1973 admission to the bar.
