| Case Digest |
Respondent engaged in misconduct in a criminal case by failing to file a Notice of Appeal with the Superior Court of Pennsylvania on behalf of his client following his client’s sentencing and by failing to respond to his client’s and his client’s sister’s inquiries.
Mitigating factors in determining the discipline to impose were Respondent’s cooperation, remorse, and acknowledgement of wrongdoing. Also, Respondent made changes to his office practice so that Respondent is made aware of court dates, filing deadlines, and communications owed to clients and third parties.
An aggravating factor was Respondent’s record of discipline, consisting of an informal admonition, a private reprimand, and a public censure.
