Discipline Summaries

November 23, 2012

JAMES BLINN SANBORN [#80626], 63, of Chatsworth was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years of probation and he was ordered to make restitution and take the MPRE. The order took effect Nov. 23, 2012.

Sanborn stipulated to five counts of misconduct while representing a client in divorce and guardianship matters. He did no work on either case, missed several appointments with his client, who requested a refund of his $1,500 advance fee, did not respond to voicemail messages and took no steps to protect his client’s interests.

In mitigation, Sanborn had no discipline record in 32 years of practice and he cooperated with the bar’s investigation.
