Discipline Summaries

November 24, 2011

KENNETH BRIAN RODMAN [#72412], 63, of Woodland Hills was disbarred Nov. 24, 2011, and was ordered to make restitution to four clients and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court.

Rodman stipulated to extensive misconduct in 17 cases. Eight cases involved bankruptcies in which he failed to obey court orders. He was sanctioned, found in contempt, and did not disgorge funds, as ordered by the bankruptcy trustee. At one point, he agreed not to represent chapter 11 debtors until he completed the Lawyer’s Assistance Program.

Other cases ranged from family law to criminal to probate. His misconduct included failures to perform legal services competently, deposit client money in his trust account, refund unearned fees, pay out or account for client funds or communicate with clients. He committed numerous acts of moral turpitude by making misrepresentations and collecting illegal fees and he represented clients with adverse interests.

In mitigation, he suffered from chronic depression and a variety of family crises.
