Discipline Summaries
October 11, 2003 GEORGE STANLEY CLARK [#63328], 54, of Pasadena was disbarred Oct. 11, 2003, and was ordered to comply with rule 955. In a default proceeding, State Bar Court Judge Joann Remke found that Clark committed misconduct involving two clients and his trust account. In the first matter, he represented a client in a personal injury case on a contingency basis. He filed the complaint, appeared at one hearing but then missed two subsequent hearings and the case was dismissed. Clark took no steps to set aside the dismissal and when the client inquired about the case, he said it was going well. The client learned a year later about the dismissal, shortly after Clark relocated his office without telling the client. A second personal injury case was dismissed when Clark did not pay the filing fee. He received a settlement check for his client but did not inform her he had settled the case without her authorization. The check was cashed but no funds were given to the client or her doctor. Clark allowed the balance in his trust account to fall below zero and he eventually closed the account.The client hired a new lawyer, who demanded the settlement proceeds. Clark agreed to make monthly payments of $200 but never did.He also wrote personal checks against his client trust account.Remke found that Clark failed to perform legal services competently, communicate with clients, notify a client of receipt of funds, maintain client funds or deliver client funds promptly, and he improperly withdrew from employment, commingled funds in his trust account and committed acts of moral turpitude. Clark has been disciplined three times previously. "In view of his three prior records of discipline, [Clark] has repeatedly committed acts of dishonesty, client abandonments and other misconduct from 1982 to the present," Remke wrote in recommending his disbarment. |
