October 23, 2004 GLENN EDWARD REED [#85272], 60, of Mt. Vernon, Wash. was disbarred Oct. 23, 2004, and was ordered to comply with rule 955 of the California Rules of Court. Reed was disbarred in Washington in 2003 for misconduct involving one client and his trust account. In a default proceeding, the State Bar Court in California determined that his conduct warranted discipline in this state.He settled a personal injury matter for $3,500, but used the money for his own purposes and did not give any settlement funds to the client or pay his medical bills. He misrepresented to the client that he had not received final medical bills and ultimately stopped responding to the client’s inquiries.In another matter, he opened an IOLTA account with a balance of $10, wrote a check to an individual for $4,500 but stopped payment the same day. He delivered the check to the individual with the intent to defraud him and did not make payment for 20 days. Reed also wrote at least 15 bad checks against the account.He wrote checks after the account was closed for amounts over the price of the goods purchased at two grocery stores. He has not repaid the money. The State Bar Court concluded that Reed commingled funds and committed acts of moral turpitude. |
