State Bar Court of California placed Kelly Duford Williams, who ran Slate Law Group, on involuntary inactive status last month
A San Diego attorney has been recommended for disbarment after she was accused of misappropriating client funds, directing an unlicensed colleague to appear at a court hearing and making a false report to Utah police about the welfare of a child.
Last March, the State Bar’s Office of Chief Trial Counsel filed several charges against Williams. The recommendation that the California Supreme Court disbar her was filed Jan. 5 following a contested hearing last year. Those calls led police to make a middle-of-the-night visit at a Utah vacation home, where they found nothing out of sorts. Police there determined Williams had made a false report. At her trial, Williams initially denied making the calls, then later admitted it.
Lastly, the State Bar accused Williams of misappropriating settlement money paid to two clients in separate cases. In each instance, the clients repeatedly asked for their settlement money.
