He was suspended again in 2010 for failing to perform legal services competently, maintain client funds in trust, promptly pay out client funds, communicate with clients or cooperate with the bar’s investigation, violating his probation, misappropriating $3,135 in settlement funds, writing checks against insufficient funds and abandoning clients.Most recently, he was suspended in 2012 for failing to comply with probation conditions attached to a disciplinary order.February 9, 2012 DANNY ROBERT TAYLOR [#91924], 62, of Pasadena was suspended for five years, stayed, placed on three years of probation with a two-year actual suspension and until he makes restitution and proves his rehabilitation, and he was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court.

He also wrote checks against insufficient funds, misappropriated $3,135 in settlement funds, improperly withdrew from employment, engaged in the unauthorized practice of law and didn’t comply with probation conditions from an earlier discipline. In mitigation, he completed the Alternative Discipline Program, which qualified as evidence that he no longer suffered from substance abuse.Taylor also was privately reproved in 2000 following convictions for misdemeanor battery and trespass, and he was suspended in 2001 for nine counts of misconduct in four matters.

The order took effect Nov. 2, 2001. Taylor stipulated to misconduct in four consolidated matters.He acted as defense counsel in a criminal trial at a time when he was suspended for failure to pay bar dues. The proceeding ended in a mistrial when it was learned Taylor was suspended. The notice of suspension sent by the State Bar was returned because Taylor had moved without reporting his new address.The suspension lasted only 10 days.He also appeared in court on behalf of another client while he was suspended, but then failed to appear at two subsequent hearings and withdrew from employment without seeking the court’s permission.In a third criminal proceeding, Taylor was sanctioned $400 for his failure to appear for trial at the scheduled time. The matter was continued for trial and Taylor did not pay the sanction. He also did not appear at the subsequent trial date, but called the court at 4 p.m. to say he was ill. He missed a court appearance the following day and was relieved as counsel.He was found in contempt but did not appear at two sentencing hearings. He eventually spent five days in the county jail.Taylor represented another criminal defendant in two matters, and again missed a hearing, was dismissed as counsel, was found guilty of contempt of court and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and spend five days in jail.He stipulated that he practiced law while not entitled, failed to maintain a current address with the State Bar, improperly withdrew from employment, disobeyed court orders and failed to maintain respect for the courts.Taylor received a private reproval in 2000 following a conviction for battery and trespass.In mitigation, he suffered a period of severe depression at the time of the misconduct because his marriage broke up, he was evicted from his residence and he suffered financial reversals. No harm came to his clients, since he made efforts to protect their interests after his failures to appear. |
