Discipline Summaries
October 9, 1996 PAUL DAVID FILLMAN [#89268], 51, of Long Beach was suspended for three years, stayed, and placed on probation for three years on the condition that he is actually suspended for two years and until he has made restitution and provides proof of his rehabilitation. He was ordered to pass the MPRE and comply with rule 955. The order took effect Oct. 9, 1996. In this decision, Fillman was found culpable of several client trust account violations and failure to promptly pay out client funds and medical liens, cooperate with the bar's investigation and maintain a current address with the bar's membership department. In one instance, he wrote three checks on his client trust account to pay the rent on his law office. All three checks were returned for insufficient funds.Considered aggravating circumstances were Fillman's indifference toward rectification of the consequences of his misconduct, refusal to account for his mishandling of settlement proceeds and failure to participate in the disciplinary hearings prior to default.In mitigation, Fillman has been a member of the bar since 1979, with no prior record of discipline. |
