Attorney Keith Jarrett was retained to act for the complainant after a motor vehicle accident. His failure to follow up resulted in a default judgment being entered against the complainant, and he failed to timely apply to set it aside despite being served. He also failed to keep the complainant informed, assuring him all was well. The Committee found him guilty of professional misconduct in breach of Canons IV(r) and (s), suspended him for six months, and ordered payment of $4,000,000 to the complainant plus $150,000 costs.
