Discipline Summaries

September 6, 2013

CORNELL JOHN PRICE [#62443], 70, of Pasadena, was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years' probation with an actual 30-day suspension and ordered to take the MPRE. The order took effect Sept. 6, 2013.

Price stipulated that he failed for more than a year to pay the $5,000 balance of the unearned fees owed to a woman who wanted him to represent her in her criminal case. The woman paid Price $15,000 in advanced fees, then tried to substitute Price in as her counsel of record but was unsuccessful. After she terminated Price’s employment, he refunded $10,000 of the fees. But Price did not return the rest of the money until February 2013 after a new arbitration award was rendered in favor of the client and the State Bar had launched an investigation into Price’s misconduct. Price also failed to respond to letters from a State Bar investigator.

In mitigation, Price had no prior discipline in more than 37 years of practicing law and cooperated with the State Bar by entering into a pre-trial stipulation.
