• Failed to provide client with accounting of claimed fees
• Failed to promptly refund unearned fees
• Arbitrator ruled $20,000 fee totally refundable as unearned

As a consequence of his misconduct, the Patron Saints for Attorney Misfits sitting on the California State Bar Court punished Johnny by gifting him with a complimentary reproval.

• Misappropriated [stole] $31,000 of client funds
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
• Engaged in a conflict of interest

As we speak (ca. October 2014), Johnny practices with the Law Office of John K. Saur at 1851 East First Street in Santa Ana, California.
