Livermore Attorney Disbarred For Failing To Comply With Probation

LIVERMORE, CA — Livermore attorney Steven Ahlers was disbarred this month because he failed to comply with conditions of his probation in two prior disciplinary cases, according to the State Bar of California, which licenses, regulates and disciplines attorneys.

In the two disciplinary cases, Ahlers was suspended for periods of six months and two years.
Ahlers failed to provide satisfactory evidence that he completed State Bar Ethics School and failed to submit quarterly reports in a timely manner to the Office of Probation.

In 2015, Ahlers was found guilty of using a telephone or electronic communication device with the intent to annoy his domestic partner, a misdemeanor. The State Bar Court placed Ahlers on three years of probation and ordered him to complete 104 hours of counseling with a therapist.

Ahlers did not immediately respond by phone or email asking for comment on the disbarment. A call to his attorney in the 2015 case was not immediately returned.

Ahlers was admitted to the California bar in 2007.
