Discipline Summaries

July 31, 2005

ALAN IRVING MOSS [#68369], 61, of San Francisco was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years of probation with a 60-day actual suspension and until he proves his rehabilitation and makes restitution, and was ordered to take the MPRE. If the actual suspension exceeds 90 days, he must comply with rule 955; if it exceeds two years, he must prove his rehabilitation.

The order took effect July 31.

Moss reviewed a file for a defendant in a lawsuit and recommended that the man hire a real estate expert. With the defendant’s permission, Moss associated with a real estate attorney. The client gave Moss a check for $10,000 as an advance fee.

The client later terminated Moss’ employment and Moss was told the entire fee should go to the other lawyer. He did not provide her the money and stipulated that he failed to refund unearned fees.

In another case, Moss represented a client in an action against an insurance company on a contingency fee basis. He settled the case for $60,000 but did not abide by the terms of the fee agreement.

He stipulated that he failed to perform legal services competently by not sending the client the settlement check for his endorsement or promptly paying the client what he was entitled to, and by withdrawing a fee without the client’s consent and incorrectly charging his client for another attorney’s work when he should have paid for the work.

In mitigation, Moss has no prior record of discipline and he cooperated with the bar’s investigation.
