Discipline Summaries

June 11, 1999

CLIFFORD R. WEBER [#67960], 51, of Pacific Palisades was summarily disbarred June 11, 1999.

He was convicted in federal court in 1994 of two felonies: mail fraud and aiding and assisting the filing of a false tax return. He had accepted kickbacks totaling $5,800 from a chiropractor in 1993 and 1994 for the referral of client accident victims and then concealed that income from the clients and the insurers.

Because Weber was convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude, State Bar prosecutors sought his summary disbarment.

Weber asked for review, arguing that summary disbarment is not automatic and mandatory, that the Supreme Court considers all relevant evidence in imposing discipline and that his offense warrants less than disbarment.

Included in Weber's submission to the bar court's review department was a letter from the judge who presided over his trial. He wrote, in part, "The facts presented . . . did not present the usual egregious facts found in federal felony convictions. At best, this was a case of a failure to disclose a rebate relationship between the medical provider and attorney. I sincerely believe that summary disbarment . . . would be tragic and excessive under the circumstances."

The review department rejected Weber's arguments, however, saying it is not required to consider such issues as an attorney's motive in committing a crime or the extent to which harm did or did not occur.

The judges also said that despite Weber's argument that his offense was not serious enough to warrant summary disbarment, all the facts were not before them, nor were those facts undisputed. What is undisputed, they found, is that Weber was convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude and therefore, no exception to the summary disbarment recommendation was warranted.

April 29, 1998

CLIFFORD RALPH WEBER [#67960], 50, of Pacific Palisades was placed on interim suspension April 29, 1998, following federal convictions for mail fraud and helping to file a false income tax return. He was ordered to comply with rule 955.
