Attorney Ryan Stearns of Torrance, CA; ethical misfit

The state of California provided Ryan Edward Stearns with a law license in 1983 after he graduated from Southwestern University Law School in San Diego.

The California State Bar found Ryan guilty of the following misconduct.

• Engaged in a conflict of interest
• Failed to disclose conflict to clients
• Failed to obtain written consent from clients re: conflict of interest

As a consequence of his misconduct, the supporters for Attorney Misfits sitting on the State Bar Court punished Ryan by gifting him with a complimentary stayed 1-year suspension of his law license.

In truth, the comedians sitting on the California State Bar Court didn’t mete out any meaningful punishment to Ryan.

As we speak (ca. May 2015) Ryan practices Stearns Kim & Stearns at 3424 West Carson Street in Torrance California, which is located in Los Angeles County.
