Villalobos in turn contacted the attorneny representing the target of the investigation. Villalobos offered to coach his client to lie to investigators in order to thrwart a Grand Jury investigation. The second attorney then contacted the FBI, who set up a sting, in which Villalobos accepted the first agreed cash payment. He was promptly arrested. After a two week trial, a jury convicted him on August 31, 2011. His license is suspended by the State Bar pending the sentencing and the exhaustion of any appeals. He faces disbarment. USA v. Villalobos, 2:09-cr-00824-GHK.
