Supreme Court Suspends Los Angeles Lawyer for Failing to Pass MPRE
Khavarian conceded that his attempt to conceal his incompetent legal work and escape a potential malpractice claim by misrepresenting the status of the case constituted an “act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty or corruption.”
Khavarian had not been disciplined by the State Bar prior to his suspension in July 2001. He was represented by JoAnne Earls Robbins of the Los Angeles-based firm Karpman & Associates.
Deputy Chief Trial Counsel Brooke A. Schafer prosecuted the case for the State Bar during the 2001 proceeding.

Stern did mention on the stand that his old law firm was now dissolved. Course he didn't need to mention WHY it was dissolved.
