Our Client, C.A., faced a complaint filed by a former client, which alleged that they had failed to promptly respond to the client’s requests for information. C.A. faced the possibility of severe discipline, as failure to promptly respond to client requests for information is the number one basis for attorney discipline by the Texas Bar.
In June 2016, we submitted a written rebuttal, conveying to the Bar that any failure by C.A. to promptly respond to their client’s requests for information was rare and stressed that C.A. secured an exceptionally favorable settlement for their client for a very reasonable fee. In August, the Bar provided notice that no “just cause” was found to prosecute C.A.’s case further or impose discipline on C.A.’s license. The case is set to be dismissed.
