Discipline Summaries
August 9, 2012 ANDREW ELLIS RUBIN, 63, of Los Angeles was disbarred Aug. 9, 2012. Rubin stipulated to seven counts of misconduct in two matters in which he represented criminal defendants. In the first, he filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus 42 days after the statute of limitations expired and the case was dismissed. He didn’t notify his client or refund his advance $4,000 fee.He was hired to review and evaluate a second defendant’s case. The client’s mother paid Rubin $10,000 to file habeas corpus writs at both the state and federal level, but he did neither.Rubin admitted he failed to perform legal services competently, refund unearned fees, keep clients informed of significant developments in their cases, communicate with clients or cooperate with the bar’s investigation.He has been disciplined twice previously, in 2006 and 2008. He was privately reproved and then suspended for violating the terms of the reproval. In mitigation, he cooperated with the bar’s investigation by stipulating to disbarment.October 31, 2008 ANDREW ELLIS RUBIN [#62587], 59, of Los Angeles was suspended for two years, stayed, actually suspended for 90 days and until the State Bar Court grants a motion to terminate the suspension and he was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 and take the MPRE within one year. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, he must prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect Oct. 31, 2008. In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court found that Rubin failed to comply with conditions attached to a private reproval imposed in 2006. He did not contact the probation office, submit quarterly probation reports or proof of attendance at ethics school or proof that he passed the MPRE.The underlying discipline stemmed from Rubin’s failure to comply with a Supreme Court order. At the time, he had no prior discipline in 30 years of practice and he had extensive community, school and bar association service as well as pro bono work. |
