California state bar

State Bar to petition court for Encino attorney’s disbarment in loan modification case”
I reside in the state of California and went to my states bar association and found this article. A Southern California lawyer, Andrew Weitz, was charged with defrauding thousands of dollars from loan modification clients, and allowing non-attorneys to unlawfully run his practice. Additionally, he has been engaging in the unauthorized practice of law after he was placed involuntary inactive status and charging illegal fees of approximately $4,000 while his license was suspended.
It’s obvious that this attorney will be disbarred. I also think that the outcome may result in a civil suit brought against him by the victims in hopes to recover some of the lost funds. If not, the judge could potentially award restitution by which the victims can be compensated as well. The information that I feel will be needed is the accounting ledgers, bank statements and receipts from the victims. There are 52 charges pending against this attorney so I don’t think it will be too difficult for a judge to make a decision on the case.
to discuss the information further and to discuss whether you agree or disagree and state why or why not.
