PEREZ ON DISCIPLINE
Recommended discipline imposed
The court orders that ENID PEREZ, State Bar Number 216445, is suspended from the practice of law in California for three years, execution of that period of suspension is stayed, and she is placed on probation for three years subject to the following conditions:
1. ENID PEREZ is suspended from the practice of law for the first 18 months of probation;
2. ENID PEREZ must comply with the other conditions of probation recommended by the Hearing Department of the State Bar Court in its Order Approving Stipulation filed on April 24, 2018; and
3. At the expiration of the period of probation, if ENID PEREZ has complied with all conditions of probation, the period of stayed suspension will be satisfied, and that suspension will be terminated.
ENID PEREZ must also take and pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination within one year after the effective date of this order and provide satisfactory proof of such passage to the State Bar's Office of Probation in Los Angeles within the same period. Failure to do so may result in suspension. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 9.10(b).)
ENID PEREZ must also comply with California Rules of Court, rule 9.20 and perform the acts specified in subdivisions (a) and (c) of that rule within 30 and 40 calendar days, respectively, after the effective date of this order. Failure to do so may result in disbarment or suspension.
Costs are awarded to the State Bar in accordance with Business and Professions Code section 6086.10 and are enforceable both as provided in Business and Professions Code section 6140.7 and as a money judgment. One-third of the costs must be paid with her membership fees for each of the years 2019, 2020, and 2021. If ENID PEREZ fails to pay any installment as described above, or as may be modified by the State Bar Court, the remaining balance is due and payable immediately.
