BILL LUPTON vs. VALLEY PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL - The Pearman Law Corporation we believe is the attorney for the plaintiff in this medical malpractice action. Per the law firm's website the managing partner responsible for overseeing medical malpractice legal work work is Kim Pearman. As such we have included his information below.

In a tentative ruling a Los Angeles County judge has sanctioned the Pearman law office $945.

From the ruling this is what happened:

In this lawsuit the defendant served discovery on the Pearman firm's client. This included requests to produce documents and written questions to answer.

Normally responses are due in about thirty days. Pearman's client was given an extension of time to answer. Then a second extension. Despite that no responses were forthcoming from the law office.

Defendants were then forced to file multiple motions to compel.

Pearman then did not even bother to respond to the motions.

The result was predictable for this type of repeated intransigence: sanctions.

The court specifically ordered sanctions against their attorney: the Pearman Law Corporation for $945, payable within twenty days.

Kim Pearman was admitted to the California Bar in 1965. Bar Number 36106.
