However, I have litigated these cases on number of occasions for real estate investors.

Pines readily admits to advising about 70 of his clients to illegally reenter their homes after foreclosure.State Bar Court Judge Richard Honn found that Pines had “lost his ability to distinguish between zealous advocacy and lawlessness.â€â€œLegal decisions are to be made by the courts, not the litigants,†Honn said in his ruling. “(Pines’) unwillingness or inability to obey court orders and follow the law of this state has tarnished the reputation of other attorneys and the legal community as a whole.â€The technical decision by Honn was to declare Pines’ license “involuntarily inactive†pending a hearing on disciplinary charges.“The state bar is very gratified that the court has agreed with us that Pines poses an imminent threat of harm to the public, and therefore has removed him from active practice,†said chief trial counsel Jim Towery. “Lawyers have an obligation to follow the law, not to break it.

If the commission finds that a violation has occurred, the commission may assess a civil penalty, in an amount it determines, not to exceed one thousand dollars per violation.
