Correct. The proper agency to conduct an investigation would be the State Bar of California. It would have to be proven she knew the signature was a forgery. Incompetence is not grounds for disbarment. Did she have to disclose, if she did know, prior to the time a party has to disclose in a lawsuit? Not cut and dry.
