Alkow V. State Bar Of California

Harry Alkow was charged in six counts with the violation of his oath and duties as an attorney at law (Bus. & Prof. Code, §§ 6103, 6067, 6068), and the commission of acts involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 6106). After a hearing, which Alkow failed to attend, the local administrative committee found him guilty as charged on five counts (dismissing the sixth) and recommended that he be disbarred. The disciplinary board, upon further hearing and review, sustained the committee's findings and recommended disbarment.
