In December, the bar filed a series of disciplinary charges against [the lawyer], alleging he wrongly collected “non-refundable” fees, failed to account for client charges and didn’t return property in a timely manner after a client fired him.
Last week, the State Bar filed a new round of charges. Some are similar to the previous allegations. But two of the new counts relate to the 2023 filing, which led to $999 in court sanctions against [his] firm.
A judge at the time said the filing contained “an entire body of law that was fabricated.”
