SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A California lawyer who achieved national notoriety for advising clients to break into and reoccupy their foreclosed homes is facing the loss of his law license, the State Bar of California announced Thursday.
The state bar said it’s recommending the disbarment of Michael T. Pines after he refused to participate in the agency’s disciplinary proceedings against him. A state bar judge said she would have recommended disbarment even had Pines tried to defend himself.
