Discipline Summaries

April 4, 1998

HENRY D. FANDEY [#76363], 44, of Los Angeles was disbarred April 4, 1998, and ordered to comply with rule 955 of the California Rules of Court.

Fandey failed to comply with an earlier rule 955 requirement; he did not file with the Supreme Court an affidavit stating that he notified all clients and pertinent parties of his prior suspension from practice.

His original discipline resulted from misconduct involving six clients in New Mexico. Fandey failed to perform legal services or communicate with his clients and he closed his office without notifying the clients.

He also has a prior record of discipline in California, stemming from a single client matter in which he aided and abetted a client's flight from California to avoid paying a child support order. He also improperly obtained an interest in a client's property and entered into a business transaction with a client.

"It would undermine the integrity of the disciplinary system and damage public confidence in the legal profession," wrote State Bar Court Judge Michael D. Marcus, "if [Fandey] were not disbarred for his unexplained wilful disobedience of the Supreme Court's order."

Fandey did not participate in the proceedings.

November 17, 1996

HENRY DANIEL FANDEY [#76363], 43, of Los Angeles was suspended for two years, stayed, and placed on probation for two years, including 90 days actual suspension, effective Nov. 17, 1996. He was ordered to comply with rule 955.

Fandey's suspension order occurred after the State Bar of California was notified of his one-year suspension by the State Bar of New Mexico.

The New Mexico bar found Fandey culpable in six client matters, including failure to communicate, improper withdrawal from a case, failure to perform legal services and other professional conduct violations.

In California, Fandey has a prior record of discipline. In 1994, he received a one-year actual suspension and probation after he aided a client's attempt to avoid child support.

Fandey cooperated with the California bar's investigation and entered into a consent judgment with the State Bar of New Mexico.
