Legal Question in Legal Ethics in California
bar member status
If an attorney who has only ever been admitted to practice in the state of California is ''resigned with charges pending'' as of 1997 what are the consequences of this member status.
Specifically, is the person an attorney?
are they a member of the CA bar?
can they sign their name with ''esq.''?
can they appear pro hoc vicie in another state (i.e., NY) during this member status?
can they get reinstated in CA? how long do they have to wait? what is the procedure?
Please, please, please get back to me as soon as possible -- I am very concerned about a situation!!!!! Thanks!!!

Re: bar member status
they are not an attorney and cannot practice law unless they have another license in another state, then they can practice in the other state. if they apply to get reinstated they must face the charges that were pending first. to check on a lawyer's license go to www.calbar.org
