Discipline Summaries

August 21, 2010

MARK SITRAK SIMONIAN [#96969], 56, of Los Angeles 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 Aug. 21, 2010.

Simonian was privately reproved in 2008 after stipulating to misconduct in 2005 and successfully completing the Alternative Discipline Program for lawyers with substance abuse or mental health issues. However, he did not comply with conditions attached to the reproval; he did not submit six quarterly probation reports or provide proof that he passed the MPRE or attended ethics school.

The underlying discipline was imposed because Simonian practiced while not an active bar member and he didn’t cooperate with the bar’s investigation. In mitigation, he cooperated with the bar’s investigation and he had physical or emotional problems at the time of the misconduct.
