Matthew Pappas came under investigation with the California state BAR in the beginning of the summer of 2016 after a federal judge in the 9th filed a formal complaint with the state BAR against Pappas calling for disciplinary action to be rendered against him.

As a result, an investigation was conducted against Pappas and because incompetence was found in that and one other case handled by Pappas, ultimately he was suspended from the right to practice law as an attorney in the state of California for a minimum of 6 months.

Pappas admitted to dereliction in his efforts as an attorney for his clients but was quick to point and claim he suffered from extreme mental illness.
