WEINSTEIN WEISS & ORDUBEGIAN LLP VS BARRY FISCHER - Barry Fischer is the defendant in this matter based on information from the Los Angeles county online case summary for this matter and online court records.

From the tentative ruling our understanding is this is what happened:

Attorney Barry Fischer owes a judgment of $125,000.

Per a settlement he could have paid $68,000 over time but he failed to do so and as a result a judgment of $125,000 was entered against him.




To collect the amount the defendant served written questions to answer about Mr. Fischer's finances and assets.

Attorney Fischer never responded.

A motion to compel was filed which the court granted.

The court also sanctioned Fischer an unknown amount.

Per plaintiff, Barry Fischer then did not comply with the court's order.

He allegedly did not provide responses to the discovery and he did not pay the sanctions.







Another motion to compel was filed. The judge in this ruling is saying Barry Fischer, Esq's conduct is "willful" and imposed another $1260 in monetary sanctions.




Additionally, the judge imposed additional sanctions. Apparently, preventing Fischer from introducing any evidence in response to this matter.







Update: It appears from the court that after this tentative ruling was issued several things happened:

1. Mr. Fischer did not contest the tentative ruling so it became a final order.


2. Later the court noted Barry Fischer had filed for bankruptcy and that created an automatic stay. It is our understanding this means the evidence and $1260 sanctions order had to be withdrawn.


3. Barry Fischer informed the court he paid all sanctions of $1660 and complied with the prior order to answer written questions.

According to records from the California State Bar attorney Barry Fisher has had multiple disciplinary actions.

In 2003 Barry Fischer was disciplined by the California State Bar for violating California Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 3-110(A).




This rule provided that an attorney must competently provide legal services.




In 2015 Fischer was suspended from the practice of law for not paying his bar dues.




In 2018 Fischer was publicly reproved but in our opinion should have been disbarred. It is our understanding his client paid him a $5000 advance but the matter only required $1000 in legal fees.

Although the money possibly should have been in a trust account, Barry Fischer was unable to refund the $4000 to his client.

For over two years Fischer was unable to repay the amount owed. His payment to his client bounced as a bad check.







We think attorneys should be disbarred for this type of misconduct because the money should have been in trust and not withdrawn until earned.

In March 2019 a new notice of potential bar sanctions was filed against Mr. Fischer.




We read this allegation as claiming attorney Barry Fischer intentionally misappropriated $18,278.83 that was in a trust account.

Would you hire Barry Fischer to be your attorney?

Absolutely not. He has been repeatedly disciplined by the State Bar. His law office appears to be his home. He will not be practicing law for much longer.

On October 10, 2019, a California State Bar judge ruled attorney Barry Fischer intentionally misappropriated $18,278.83.







The judge recommended that Barry Fischer be suspended from being able to practice law for a minimum of two years.




On October 14, 2019, Barry Fischer apparently tried to scam us in an email claiming "thius [sic] infrmation [sci] is slanderous, not accurate and must be removed"

As a result of his email we took another look at his practice and found the State Bar ruling made just days earlier.

Unbelievable.
