Discipline Summaries

August 18, 2010

WILLIAM STORM BLEECKER [#79787], 59, of Santa Rosa was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on three years of probation with an actual 60-day suspension and he was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect Aug. 18, 2010.

Bleecker stipulated to two counts of misconduct while handling a divorce in which his client received a car. Bleecker took possession of the car but didn’t give it back until three years after the client demanded its return.

During the course of the divorce, he also loaned the client $7,800 to pay various personal expenses including her property taxes. He didn’t tell the client to get independent legal advice about the loan, nor did he transmit the terms of the loan in a fashion the client could understand. She never repaid the loan and Bleecker never asked for repayment.

Bleeker stipulated that he failed to return client property and he entered into an improper business transaction with a client.

Bleecker was disciplined in 1991 and in this matter, he cooperated with the bar’s investigation and demonstrated remorse.
