Discipline Summaries

February 12, 2000

ARTHUR HOW FONG [#80048], 53, of Los Angeles was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on three years of probation with a 120-day actual suspension, and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year and comply with rule 955. The order took effect Feb. 12, 2000.

Fong stipulated that he failed to fulfill the requirements of an earlier discipline by not sumbitting an affidavit to the Supreme Court attesting that he had notified all clients and other pertinent parties of a 1998 suspension.

That misconduct involved commingling personal and client funds in his client trust account. Fong wrote 36 personal checks for more than $5,400 against the account.

In mitigation, no clients were harmed, Fong showed remorse and cooperated with the bar’s investigation, and at the time of the misconduct, he faced severe financial stress as well as physical disabilities.

April 4, 1998

ARTHUR HOW FONG [#80048], 51, of Los Angeles was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on three years of probation with an actual 90-day suspension, and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year and to comply with rule 955. The order took effect April 4, 1998.

In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court found that Fong commingled personal and client funds in his client trust account. He wrote 36 personal checks for more than $5,400 from the account.

Fong practiced for 16 years without any discipline, and the commingling did not harm any clients.
