The former B.C. lawyer with a proven record of lying and misleading the Law Society of BC did not appear before a disciplinary panel for professional misconduct.
Twice-disbarred Richmond lawyer Hong Guo did not appear before her Law Society of BC disciplinary hearing Thursday, prompting tribunal members to seek clarification as to her whereabouts and the reason for her absence.
Guo has not communicated with Sodhi since Dec. 30, 2023, when Guo advised Sodhi that she was under the care of her brother in China, Sodhi told tribunal chair Michael Welsh. A recent review board decision, dated May 6, states Guo appeared “on her own behalf” at a Feb. 8 hearing, although the circumstances are unclear.
The new finding of professional misconduct adds to numerous other such findings from eight of the nine citations against Guo. Last month, the society applied in court to take full custodianship of Guo law Corp., a once bustling practice specializing in real estate transactions and immigration-related business arrangements, such as the B.C. Provincial Nominee Program.
