COLLINS ON DISCIPLINE
Recommended discipline imposed
The court orders that LISA FAYE COLLINS, State Bar Number 176655, is suspended from the practice of law in California for two years, execution of that period of suspension is stayed, and she is placed on probation for three years subject to the following conditions:
1. LISA FAYE COLLINS is suspended from the practice of law for the first 60 days of probation;
2. LISA FAYE COLLINS 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 May 4, 2016; and
3. At the expiration of the period of probation, if LISA FAYE COLLINS has complied with all conditions of probation, the period of stayed suspension will be satisfied and that suspension will be terminated.
LISA FAYE COLLINS 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).)
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-half of the costs must be paid with her membership fees for each of the years 2017 and 2018. If LISA FAYE COLLINS 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.
