June 11, 2005 ROBERT JAMES LAFRANCHI [#57553], 68, of Los Altos Probation was revoked, the stay of suspension was lifted and he was actually suspended for one year and was ordered to comply with rule 955. The order took effect June 11, 2005. Lafranchi did not comply with the terms of a 2003 probation: he did not submit five quarterly probation reports, proof of attendance at ethics school or proof of restitution, and he did not report a change in his phone number to the bar.The underlying discipline was imposed for Lafranchi’s failure to comply with the conditions of a private reproval imposed in 2001 for misconduct involving two clients — he failed to perform legal services competently, refund unearned fees or return client files.October 18, 2003 ROBERT JAMES LaFRANCHI [#57553], 66, of Los Altos was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on two years of probation with an actual 60-day suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year.

LaFranchi did not comply with conditions attached to a 2001 reproval: he did not attend ethics school, file two quarterly reports or provide proof that he passed the MPRE.The discipline (a private reproval with public disclosure) was imposed as a result of LaFranchi's failure to perform legal services competently, refund unearned fees or return client files.In mitigation, he cooperated with the bar's investigation and no client was harmed. |
