Discipline Summaries
May 22, 2008 HAROLD T. ROSS [#58168], 62, of Thousand Oaks was disbarred May 22, 2008, and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20. Ross failed to comply with rule 955 of the California Rules of Court, since renumbered as rule 9.20. He did not submit to the State Bar Court an affidavit attesting that he notified his clients, opposing counsel, courts or other interested parties of his 2006 suspension. Failure to comply with 955 is grounds for disbarment.In the underlying matter, the bar court found that Ross failed to perform legal services competently, return a client file, communicate with the client or cooperate with the bar’s investigation. In recommending Ross’ disbarment, Judge Donald Miles wrote that he “demonstrated an unwillingness to comply with his professional obligations and the rules of conduct imposed on lawyers.†Ross did not participate in the disbarment proceedings and his default was entered.November 12, 2006 HAROLD T. ROSS [#58168], 61, of Thousand Oaks was suspended for one year, stayed, actually suspended for 30 days and until the State Bar Court grants a motion to terminate the suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE. If the actual suspension exceeds 90 days, he must comply with rule 955; if it exceeds two years, he must prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect Nov. 12, 2006. In a default proceeding, the bar court found that Ross committed four acts of misconduct: he failed to perform legal services competently, communicate with clients, return client files or cooperate with the bar’s investigation.He was hired to represent a couple in a personal injury matter but performed no work and did not respond to their voicemail messages. When they hired a new lawyer, Ross did not provide the clients’ file despite two requests.In mitigation, Ross has practiced without discipline for many years. |
