Discipline Summaries
February 12, 2000 CHRISTINA M. ARNALL [#85869], 50, of Northridge was suspended for three years, stayed, placed on three years of probation with an actual two-year suspension, and was ordered to make restitution, prove her rehabilitation, take the MPRE and comply with rule 955. The order took effect Feb. 12, 2000. According to a stipulation Arnall reached with the bar, she was retained to represent six people who had been trapped in an elevator. She settled the case for $20,000, which was deposited in her client trust account, but she never paid the clients and stopped communicating with them.The clients employed new counsel who requested the return of the clients’ files three times. Arnall ignored the requests.Although she reached a settlement agreement with the clients, Arnall paid only $2,000 of the $22,000 she owed.She also commingled personal and client funds in her trust account, and wrote more than 30 checks against insufficient funds.In mitigation, Arnall has no record of discipline since her 1979 admission to the bar, and she had financial difficulties and family problems at the time of the misconduct. |
