Disgraced former federal prosecutor G. Paul Howes skirted disbarment this week in California after the state’s bar recommended suspending him from practicing law for at least three years.
Howes, who prosecuted drug-related murder and gang cases for the U.S. attorney’s office in the District of Columbia during the 1980s, was disbarred there for giving out $42,000 in improper federal vouchers. In 1995, he moved to California, where he worked for what was then Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach in San Diego.
