Discipline Summaries

January 21, 1996

FREDERICK ROBERT PALUMBO [#92041], 43, of San Diego was suspended for two years, stayed, and placed on probation for three years with an actual suspension of 60 days, effective Jan. 21, 1996.

The period of probation and actual suspension will run concurrently with the remaining periods of probation and actual suspension imposed in a previous order. He also was ordered to pass the CPRE.

Palumbo's misconduct involved his violation of a court order. In April 1994, he pleaded guilty to violating a superior court restraining order after he entered the home of his ex-wife. The bar found that his conduct did not involve moral turpitude, but considered it "other misconduct warranting discipline."

Palumbo has a prior record of discipline. In 1991, he was suspended for two years, stayed, with two years probation and 30 days actual suspension. His misconduct at that time involved his conviction for two counts of battery, two counts of violation of a court order and one count of unlawful entry, following a domestic altercation.

December 17, 1995

FREDERICK ROBERT PALUMBO [#92041], 42, of San Diego was suspended for three years, stayed, and placed on five years probation with an actual two-year suspension and until he makes restitution to four clients and proves his rehabilitation. He also was ordered to take the CPRE and to comply with Rule 955. The order took effect Dec. 17, 1995.

Palumbo stipulated to misconduct in eight consolidated cases, most involving problems with his client trust account. He commingled personal funds with settlement funds he received for his clients, misappropriated funds, failed to pay medical liens and wrote numerous checks for insufficient funds.

In addition, Palumbo was placed on inactive status for about two weeks in 1993 as a result of his failure to comply with continuing education requirements and practiced law during that time.

He was disciplined in 1991 following his convictions for battery, violations of a court order and trespass in a domestic altercation with his wife.
