Two Year Suspension For California Attorney Who Engaged In Fraudulent Transfer In Morris

Attorney Morris took over the litigation defense of a California corporation called Micromark in litigation against it tenant, after a fire damaged Micromark's building. In reviewing the file, Morris discovered that Micromark had inadvertently allowed a default judgment to be taken against it by the tenant. Morris then decided, after researching the issue, that Micromark would probably be unsuccessful in setting aside the default -- so he did nothing.
