Discipline Summaries
November 11, 2016 BARRY STEVEN JORGENSEN [#79620], 70, of Diamond Bar, was suspended from the practice of law for six months and until he makes restitution. If he remains suspended for two years or more, he must provide proof of his rehabilitation. He was also ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court and take the MPRE. In addition, he was placed on two years’ probation and faces a two-year suspension if he fails to comply with the terms of his disciplinary probation. The order took effect Nov. 11, 2016. A hearing judge found Jorgensen culpable of sharing fees with a non-attorney and collecting illegal advanced fees for loan modification services in one matter. The Office of Chief Trial Counsel appealed, arguing that Jorgensen was culpable of charges in four other loan modification matters.A three-judge review panel found that the hearing judge erred in her culpability findings and found more factors in aggravation. Jorgensen engaged in misconduct in five matters, including violating loan modification laws, aiding in the unauthorized practice of law and engaging in fee sharing.In its decision the panel noted that Jorgensen “exploited his clients’ financial desperation and his fiduciary position†by charging and collecting illegal advance fees and by not providing refunds. Jorgensen was ordered to pay $61,635 plus interest in restitution.In mitigation, he had no prior record of discipline, stipulated to some facts and his culpability and has done volunteer service. |
