The California State Bar recently handed down two disciplinary actions in Santa Barbara County: a cease and desist order to Crystal Ervin and Tony Coles and the disbarment of Micah David Fargey.
Ervin and Coles were contacted by the State Bar in regards to the unauthorized practice of law. The duo operates out of Santa Maria and offers legal assistance on their website, C4 Legal Assistance, without any authorization or qualifications to do so, the agency said. Services offered by C4 Legal Assistance include family law, mediation, and estate planning.
In accordance with California state law, the pair were contacted and asked to cease their operations. If they do not, legal action may be undertaken. Ervin and Coles declined to comment.
