April 25, 2013 DOUGLAS JACK HAYCOCK [#95071], 60, of Sacramento was disbarred April 25, 2013, and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. Haycock’s default was entered in 2011 after he failed to respond to charges that he committed misconduct in three client matters. Under rule 5.85 of the State Bar’s Rules of Procedure, a lawyer can be disbarred if he or she does not have the default set aside within 180 days. In addition, the charges are deemed admitted.In one of the matters Haycock was disciplined for, he violated a court order by failing to appear at nine separate hearings as ordered by a superior court judge and for failing to pay five court-ordered sanctions totaling $2,850. He also failed to perform legal services with competence because he did not obtain his client’s signature on a settlement agreement. In one of the other matters, he failed to notify a client he was terminating his employment agreement and stopped working on the client’s lawsuit, even though it was ongoing. |
