According to the U.S. Government publication “Operation truth or Consequences” Roland Colton, an attorney from Laguna Niguel, California was indicted on October 17th, 2006 in the Southern District of California on seven counts of bankruptcy fraud for fraudulently concealing real property, personal assets, and bank accounts located in the United States and France, which were valued at more than $1.5 million. Colton failed to disclose and concealed his interest in the Chateau and other real and personal property located in France and the United States, as well as his interest in bank accounts containing hundreds of thousands of dollars during the year before he filed bankruptcy.

Colton was also charged with falsely testifying in bankruptcy proceedings regarding his ownership and control of numerous bank accounts, his payment of foreign taxes to maintain his property holdings in France, and his toward the down payment for a home purchase in the name of his wife [third wife Nahid Birjandi Escanderi Colton a.k.a. Nahid Birjandi a.k.a Dr. Nahid Birjandi and Nahid Colton and Nahid Eskanderi ] See https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/ust/legacy/2011/07/13/Rpt_to_Congress_on_FY2006_Referrals.pdf

Colton filed multiple bankruptcies from 2000 to 2014. He claimed that his assets were between $100,001 and $500,000. However, the Government's trial brief shows Colton has multiple multi-million dollar properties and hidden bank accounts. Colton's federal court filings can be accessed here.

In addition, it has had a crippling effect on my law practice in as much as my practice is heavily involved in litigation and trial work, where many of the cases take one to two years ( or more) to complete. The past five years, a significant number of potential clients have elected not to use my services the uncertainty associated with my ongoing ability to practice law.”

Roland Colton Declared under Penalty of Perjury:

" In or about December 2011, I pled guilty to a federal third degree misdemeanor contempt charge".

Colton fails to disclose that he was fined $405,000 also, and plead down from a felony to this charge in a plea bargain with the government.

Colton: "I was also placed on probation as a formality for two years beginning December 22, 2011[ to December 22, 2013] ".

Colton: "As a condition of the plea, I also acknowledged my outstanding debt to pay my state income taxes, interest and penalties I had previously owed." Judgment was filed December 21, 2011 in United States of America v. Roland C.Colton, Case No. 06CR2252-W.)"

Colton's Judgment included restitution to the State of California.

Colton was ranked in the top criminal "Operation Truth or Consequences" in 2006 by the Federal government. He was ordered on probation and posted bond for other criminal acts.

Colton has been sued a number of times for legal malpractice and fraud, among other conduct including concealment and seven counts of filing false bankruptcy.
