April 11, 2009

DANIEL SCOTT GLASER [#172056], 40, of Pasadena was suspended for three years, stayed, placed on two years of probation with a 90-day actual suspension and until he makes restitution, and he was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, he must prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect April 11, 2009.

Glaser failed to comply with probation conditions attached to a 2006 suspension. He did not file five quarterly probation reports and filed one late, and he failed to make restitution payments to the Client Security Fund or an individual, as ordered. In the underlying matter, Glaser stipulated to five acts of misconduct: he failed to comply with court orders or report sanctions and he committed acts of moral turpitude by making misrepresentations to a court and to opposing counsel.

In mitigation, he cooperated with the bar’s investigation and submitted letters attesting to his good character, although the court gave the letters little weight.

October 7, 2006

DANIEL SCOTT GLASER [#172056], 38, of Pasadena was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on two years of probation with an actual 30-day suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year and pay restitution. The order took effect Oct. 7, 2006.

Glaser stipulated to five counts of misconduct in three client matters.

In a medical malpractice case in which he represented the plaintiff, Glaser admitted that he misrepresented to the court and to opposing counsel that he had retained an expert when he had not. He also sought a continuance of the trial, purportedly because of the expert’s unavailability. His actions constituted moral turpitude.

Although Glaser had contacted the medical expert, he never formally retained him and the doctor says he told Glaser he would not be an expert for him. When Glaser never produced the expert for deposition, the parties eventually agreed that in the absence of an expert, Glaser’s client could not prevail. Judgment was entered for the defendants.

In a second medical malpractice action, the defendant moved for sum-mary judgment, but Glaser did not oppose the motion and instead asked for more time on the grounds he had miscalendared the due date for opposition. The court found inexcusable neglect on Glaser’s part and sanctioned him $1,000, ordered him to pay $1,000 to the State Bar Client Security Fund and $850 in sanctions to the defendant.

Glaser failed to report the sanctions to the bar.

The court granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment and issued an order to show cause for Glaser’s failure to pay the sanctions. Glaser finally paid the sanctions to the court almost two months late and never made a payment to the Client Security Fund.

The defendant waived sanctions owed him.

Glaser stipulated that he violated a court order and failed to report sanctions to the bar.

In the third matter, he filed a civil action but did not file a mandatory settlement conference statement or a trial management conference report. He did not appear at a trial management conference, sending another lawyer instead, but the court found there was no good reason for his non-appearance and ordered Glaser to show cause why the case should not be dismissed.

He appeared at the hearing, where the court sanctioned him $1,500 and imposed attorney costs of $2,890 payable to opposing counsel. Glaser did not pay the attorney costs.

He stipulated that he did not report the sanctions to the bar and that he disobeyed a court order.

In mitigation, Glaser was the sole associate at his law firm and contends he was under tremendous stress due to the number of cases he handled, his wife divorced him, his brother-in-law died and he had medical problems. He has no discipline record in 11 years of practice.
