You can read the back pages of California Lawyer; and State Bar Journal, available online at calbar.ca.gov, to get an idea of what kinds of attorney misconduct will interest the State Bar.
My best guess is that a single failure-to-appear warrant on a misdemeanor charge, or multiple failure-to-appear warrants on traffic tickets, will get their attention. In all likelihood the traffic tickets themselves will not attract their attention unless there are many of them; there is a DUI; or one or more citations is for a "moral turpitude" offense such as displaying false license plates or fraudulently using a handicapped placard.
