May 14, 2011 RICHARD ALLAN WHITE [#78566], 64, of Palmdale was disbarred May 14, 2011, and was ordered to make restitution and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. White stipulated to eight counts of misconduct in four cases, including two misappropriations totaling $20,967. He deposited the proceeds of a sale of a community residence, totaling $18,510, in his client trust account, but a levy by the California Tax Franchise Board reduced the balance to $10,829. White then wrote a check for $10,000 that he deposited in his personal bank account.In a second matter, he misappropriated almost $2,500 he should have used to pay his client’s doctors.He used his client trust account to pay business and personal expenses and instead of withdrawing attorney’s fees from 15 settlements, he left those fees in the account.In mitigation, White cooperated with the bar’s investigation. |
