April 29, 2011 FRANZ ANDRE-MARIE CRIEGO [#97503], 61, of Fresno was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on one year of probation and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. The order took effect April 29, 2011. Criego stipulated that he made a false emergency report to 911, violating California law.While representing the husband in a family law matter, Criego saw the wife’s lawyer drive away in his car after a hearing where both lawyers had appeared. Criego called 911 and falsely reported a drunk driver, whom he identified as the opposing lawyer. He also gave a description and license plate of the car as well as the route the other lawyer was driving. The other lawyer was not under the influence, but was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol.In mitigation, Criego had no prior discipline record, submitted proof of his good character and cooperated with the bar’s investigation. His misconduct caused significant harm to the administration of justice. |
