January 11, 2001 KENNETH G. EADE [#93774], 43, of Santa Barbara 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 Jan. 11, 2001. In a bankruptcy matter, Eade deposited $4,300 in fees into his personal account rather than his client trust account. When his client said he no longer needed to file for bankruptcy, Eade agreed to refund $3,425 but did not do so. The client won a small claims judgment of $4,418, which Eade paid a year later.In mitigation, Eade had serious financial problems at the time of the misconduct, he has done extensive pro bono work for almost 20 years and he presented evidence of his good character.December 1, 1995 KENNETH G. EADE [#93774], 38, of Oxnard was suspended for nine months, stayed, and placed on two years of probation. The order took effect Dec. 1, 1995. In two cases, Eade practiced law while suspended. In one of the cases, his client filed three pleadings with the court, purportedly on his own. However, Eade's address and telephone number appeared on the front of the pleadings and the envelopes in which they were sent, and someone from his office signed the proof of service. Although Eade claimed he dictated and prepared the pleadings prior to his suspension, he remained attorney of record at the time. In another matter, he improperly acquired an interest adverse to his clients in a bankruptcy case when he agreed to pay them $3,500 for the title to their home. He gave the clients $500 in cash but did not pay the remaining money for nine years. At the time, the clients had no equity in the property and were more than $24,000 in arrears on their mortgage. Eade also was disciplined in 1992 for negligent handling of trust funds for one client. In mitigation, Eade arranged for an attorney to substitute in for him during his suspension in all cases but the two in question. The substitutions in those cases were made late. No parties were harmed by Eade's actions. |
