Discipline Summaries

November 18, 2016

EDWARD WILLIAM PACHECO [#91903], 79, of Los Angeles, was suspended from the practice of law for 90 days and ordered to take the MPRE, make restitution and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. He was also placed on two years’ probation and faces a two-year suspension if he fails to comply with the terms of his disciplinary probation. The order took effect Nov. 18, 2016.

In one of the matters he was disciplined for Pacheco filed an incomplete bankruptcy petition for a client, failed to appear at a meeting of creditors on her behalf and allowed her bankruptcy petition to be dismissed for failure to provide the necessary documents. In filing the bankruptcy petition, he also failed to include a form in which he should have disclosed he received $1,700 to prepare the petition. He also failed to return six phone calls from the client or render an appropriate accounting or refund the client any of the $1,700 he didn’t earn.

He was ordered to pay $1,700 plus interest in restitution.

In another matter, he appeared in court on behalf of a client while suspended and failed to cooperate in a disciplinary investigation.

In aggravation, he had two prior records of discipline, committed numerous acts of misconduct and failed to pay restitution. In mitigation, he was experiencing personal and physical difficulties at the time of his misconduct and entered into a pretrial stipulation with the State Bar.
