February 10, 2011 ROBERT MICHAEL NUDELMAN [#67006], 63, of Woodland Hills was disbarred Feb. 10, 2011, and was ordered to make restitution and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. Nudelman stipulated to 12 counts of misconduct in eight matters. He engaged in a pattern of accepting legal fees from clients throughout the country and then doing no work. He owes refunds totaling $356,635 and was ordered to make restitution plus 10 percent interest.In one matter, for example, a defendant in a criminal matter in Pennsylvania paid Nudelman $50,000 to represent him. Nudelman hired local counsel who worked on the case at his direction, but otherwise Nudelman did no work. He paid the local lawyer $19,045 for his work, but owes the client more than $30,000. He owes two other clients $50,000 each for work he didn’t do. Nudelman filed for bankruptcy.In mitigation, he cooperated with the bar’s investigation and his business collapsed as the costs of his Internet advertising unexpectedly soared. |
