Attorney Joseph Rego of San Diego; ethical goblin
The state of California provided Joseph James Rego with a law license in 1992 after he graduated from the University of LaVerne Law School in Ontario, California.
The State Bar Court found Joseph guilty of the following misconduct.
Joseph’s misconduct involved his handling of a conservatorship. After the sale of the conservatee’s house in San Diego, the matter was transferred to Riverside County.
As a consequence of his misconduct, the supporters for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Bar Court punished Joseph by gifting him with a complimentary 30-day suspension of his law license.
Three years later, the conservatee died but Rego did not complete the matter in a timely fashion. As a result, a public conservator was appointed and won sanctions totaling $25,000 against Joseph. He was ordered by the court to pay that amount ($25,000) within 30 days but failed to do so.
As we speak (ca. April 2013) Joseph practices at 3443 Camino Del Rio Street in San Diego, California.
