Discipline Summaries

July 23, 2016

JOHN KENNETH SAUR [#64558], 75 of Laguna Niguel, was disbarred July 23, 2016 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court.

Saur’s misconduct involved one client matter. In 2012, he intentionally misappropriated $21,569.99 of his client’s settlement funds. When his clients asked about their money, Saur lied and said their health insurer and Medicare were disputing their share of the settlement money. Later, he blamed his bookkeeper for the delay in paying the settlement funds. Ultimately, he agreed to pay them $15,750 in nine monthly installments of $1,750. He only paid $13,250, however, as of the date of the decision disbarring him, and still owed them an additional $9,463.98. He was ordered to pay $9,463.98 plus interest in restitution.

Saur had a prior public reproval from 2014 for failing to render an accounting to his client.
