State Bar of CA :: Ronald E. Lais (1330 words) |
 | Lais wrote a letter informing the client that the suit had been filed, describing the $10,000 as "basically a non-refundable deposit toward attorney fees," and indicated that any refund would belong to the client's friend who had paid the money. |
| Lais' associate asked the client to cooperate in order to avoid sanctions and prejudice to his case, and sent a substitution of attorney form which the client did not sign. |
| Lais also induced another client to withdraw a disciplinary complaint in a fourth matter, and he improperly deposited client funds in a general account rather than a client trust account. |
