Kalmbach loses bid to void suspension
The California Supreme Court rejected Herbert W. Kalmbach’s bid to lift his interim law practice suspension and denied a hearing on potential moral turpitude. The case centers on his conviction related to an alleged European ambassadorship pledge for a political contribution and a separate charge involving $3.9 million in campaign funds. The high court sent the matter back to the State Bar for discipline recommendations, with final determination to follow. Kalmbach, 52, of Newport Beach, faces a six to 18 month federal prison term after pleading in U.S. District Court in Washington.
