Discipline Summaries
March 12, 2009 LEVON KIRAKOSIAN [#90857], 64, of Glendale was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on two years of probation and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect March 12, 2009. Kirakosian stipulated to three counts of misconduct, all involving conflict of interest issues, during his representation of a married couple who wished to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy. The woman’s sister had given the couple $200,000 over the years and Kirakosian suggested the sister sue her brother-in-law so a judgment against him would make her claim senior to other creditors’ claims that had not yet been filed.He discussed the potential conflict of interest with his clients.The clients asked Kirakosian to proceed with the lawsuit. He then filed a breach of contract suit against his client on behalf of the sister. The court entered default in favor of the sister.Kirakosian did not inform either the couple or the sister about the adverse consequences of representing all three parties and did not obtain their written consent to the dual representation.He was given a stayed suspension and placed on a year’s probation in 1997 for failing to deposit client funds in a trust account and committing acts of moral turpitude.In mitigation, he is active in community services, cooperated with the bar’s investigation and was dealing with a reduction in his office’s work force at the time of the misconduct. |
