Discipline Summaries

December 20, 1995

KEVIN SCOTT WASHBURN [#78504], 47, of Piedmont was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on one year of probation and ordered to take the CPRE within one year. The order took effect Dec. 20, 1995.

Washburn stipulated that he failed to provide competent legal services and communicate with a client in a wrongful death suit and that he misled a court.

Washburn was associated by another attorney to handle a wrongful death case against the Oakland School District and an individual who killed a high school student.

Washburn failed to respond to interrogatories and the case was dismissed. The client learned of the dismissal from a court clerk when she appeared in court, expecting the case to go to trial.

After a motion for reconsideration was denied, Washburn filed an appeal on behalf of the client, placing the name of the other attorney on the papers without that attorney's knowledge or permission.

In mitigation, he has no record of discipline in 17 years of practice and believed the other attorney would have wanted to be included in the appeal.

He has closed his law practice to pursue pro bono legislative work for crime victims' rights and is involved in public education on safety in schools.
