Discipline Summaries
August 17, 2000 ROBERT BRUCE AYRES [#84922], 49, of Hawyard was disbarred Aug. 17, 2000, and was ordered to comply with rule 955. In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court found that Ayres failed to complete probation requirements attached to two different disciplinary orders. He failed to pay restitution, attend remedial schooling or file quarterly probation reports. He has been actually suspended since 1994 for his continued failure to make restitution.In addition, Ayres has two other disciplines, the first in 1994 as a result of multiple acts of professional misconduct, including failure to communicate with clients and serious trust account violations. He never made the required showing of rehabilitation.December 17, 1997 ROBERT B. AYRES JR. [#84922], 46, of Victorville was suspended for 90 days, stayed, and placed on probation until Aug. 25, 2000, on the condition that he be actually suspended for 90 days and until he makes restitution. If the period of actual suspension exceeds two years, he will remain suspended until he proves rehabilitation. He was ordered to comply with rule 955. The order took effect Dec. 17, 1997. Ayres held in trust a client’s money and disbursed it to her as needed. When the client moved to Florida, the Social Security Administration assessed overpayment charges related to her receipt of funds from Ayres. The client’s Florida attorney made repeated requests for an accounting from Ayres, who submitted an incomplete accounting which the client disputed. The client also was penalized for failing to report all her income. Ayres ultimately accounted for all the funds except $2,000, which he agreed to pay his client despite his belief he had paid her that amount. In another matter, Ayres settled a civil case in which his client had been represented for a time by another attorney. The other attorney became embroiled in a fee dispute with the client. Ayres paid the other attorney the lien amount he and the attorney had agreed to before the fee arbitration between the client and former attorney was resolved. By doing so, he violated a rule of professional conduct that prohibits paying out disputed funds. In mitigation, Ayres was involved in an acrimonious family law matter during the time of the misconduct, and he was unable to provide a full accounting in the first matter because he relocated his records. He has a prior record of discipline. |
