The State Bar of California suspended the license of Caroline Sue Sternberg from the practice of law effective July 30, 2009. The sispension is two years, stayed for all but a month, with probation for the two year period.

The offense at issue was a mishandling of a Client Trust Account. The entire document can be read here.

Ms. Sternberg is one of the attorneys in what many litigants find to be a group of favored attorneys who seem to get preferential treatment by Commissioner Alan H. Friedenthal of Los Angeles Superior Court.

On www.courthouseforum.com one anonymous writer posted "If you are in Commissioner Friedenthal (sic) courtroom and an attorney Carol Sternberg is setting across from you be sure that Commssioner Friendenthal discloses their relationship as he was told by the Judical Ethics Committee he must advised (sic) the other side that he gave a personnel (sic) reference for her on her Bar Association hearing for her misconduct and more. If you want to see what he said about her, go to the ca bar assoc web and type in her name and scrol (sic) to the bottom for actions taken against her. In the transcripts you can read what he said about her and what your (sic) up against as he never rules against her. BEWARE YOU LOSE EVERYTIME AGAINST HER!!! even if she is wrong.

"If he does not advised (sic) you I would let his Supervising Judge know as she is aware that he is suppose to disclose the information as well. "
Shes a fraud, a thief and a liar. She just bills and never return your calls. Carol Sternberg needs to be in jail.
