State Bar prosecutors on Wednesday announced that they have filed professional misconduct charges against a second lawyer tied to a billing system fiasco at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

William “Bill” Funderburk, a former commissioner of the board overseeing the troubled utility, accepted thousands in legal services from then-attorney Paul Paradis before and after voting to give Paradis a $30 million no-bid contract in 2017, according to the notice of disciplinary charges filed in the State Bar Court on Friday. Funderburk then lied to federal authorities investigating the matter in 2020, bar prosecutors said.
