October 15, 2015 BARRY JAY POST [#72286], 64, of San Pedro, was disbarred Oct. 15, 2015 and ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. Post was disbarred after his default was entered for failing to respond to a notice of disciplinary charges. Because he did not seek to have the default set aside within 90 days as required under rule 5.85 of the State Bar’s Rules of Procedure, he was disbarred and the charges against him deemed admitted.Post did not comply with the conditions of his Lawyer Assistance Program plan, which required him to submit weekly email reports, attend a required number of self-help meetings and attend a group therapy session. In addition, he did not submit four quarterly reports to probation on time.He had two prior records of discipline. In September 1999, he was suspended for failing to adequately communicate with clients, competently perform legal services or refund unearned fees to clients. In November 2011, he was suspended for failing to comply with conditions attached to a disciplinary probation.December 30, 2011 BARRY JAY POST [#72286], 60, of San Pedro was suspended for five years, stayed, placed on four years of probation with a three-year actual suspension and until he proves his rehabilitation, and he was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. The order took effect Dec. 30, 2011. Post was terminated from the State Bar’s Alternative Discipline Program, receiving a more severe discipline than would have been meted out had he completed the program. He had demonstrated a connection between his misconduct and his mental health problems but made misrepresentations to the court about his efforts to contact the bar’s probation office. The bar court denied Post’s request that it reconsider its decision to terminate him from the program.In the underlying matter, he did not comply with probation conditions attached to a 1999 disciplinary order imposed for failures to perform legal services competently, refund unearned fees or communicate with clients.In mitigation, he had serious medical problems that led to severe financial stress.July 10, 2004 BARRY JAY POST [#72286], 52, of Brentwood was extended for three years and he was ordered to make restitution.
