The lawyer took his toddler for a walk and left his nine-month old alone and asleep in a crib for 40 minutes. He was convicted of misdemeanor child endangerment, and the State Bar hearing judge recommended a 120-day actual suspension subject to a one-year stayed suspension and two-year’s probation. Before the State Bar Court of California, the State Bar requested the lawyer be disbarred. Both the hearing judge and the State Bar Court concluded the lawyer’s actions did not involve moral turpitude. The State Bar Court recommended suspension from the practice of law for one year, that execution of that suspension be stayed, and that the lawyer be placed on probation for two years.
