The attorney was retained around 1979 by the Complainant's aunt to probate her late husband's estate. After a final letter in 1980, he failed to communicate or progress the matter despite the Complainant's repeated efforts to contact him, including engaging another attorney. The Committee found him guilty of professional misconduct and imposed a fine, compensation, costs and a conditional suspension contingent on returning the client's documents.
