Discipline Summaries
August 9, 2004 BRADFORD J. PEUGEOT [#77827], 64, of Los Angeles was placed on interim suspension Aug. 9, 2004, following convictions for committing a lewd act with a child under 14 and for making obscene phone calls to a minor. He was ordered to comply with rule 955. October 11, 2003 BRADFORD JONATHAN PEUGEOT [#77827], 63, of Los Angeles was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on two years of probation with a 90-day actual suspension, and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year and comply with rule 955. The order took effect Oct. 11, 2003. On the same day, a separate similar discipline was imposed, to run consecutive with the first. Peugeot stipulated to misconduct in three matters. In the first, he filed a bankruptcy petition for a client who answered a flier offering assistance in financial matters. The client went to Adame Financial Services (AFS) for help, gave the comp-any $1,800 and someone there advised him to file bankruptcy. Peugeot never met the client. AFS paid him $1,400 and the $185 filing fee and kept $215. In a similar case, Peugeot met with a client who gave $1,580 to AFS. With the bank threatening foreclosure against the man's house, Peugeot agreed to file the bankruptcy for another $580. He filed the petition three hours before the foreclosure sale was scheduled. In another bankruptcy matter, Peugeot filed a motion to avoid a lien for his client but failed to appear at the hearing. The motion was dismissed. Peugeot then relocated his office but did not notify the court. He stipulated that he failed to perform legal services competently in all three matters, and in the first, he also improperly shared legal fees with a non-lawyer. In mitigation, he provided a refund to the client in the last matter and he cooperated with the bar's investigation. The second disciplinary order was the result of Peugeot's failure to maintain client funds in a trust account in a bankruptcy matter. Advance fees and costs from the client were deposited into his general bank account. By not reviewing his bank records or properly supervising his staff, Peugeot also failed to perform legal services competently. In mitigation, he refunded the entire amount to the client and he has taken corrective action to prevent a reoccurence of the erroneous deposits. |
