Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision
The Complainant engaged the Respondent Attorney in 2013 to handle a breach of covenant matter concerning her residence and paid her a total of $79,500. The Respondent commenced an action to modify the restrictive covenant but took no further steps and failed to communicate with the client. The Respondent did not attend the hearings. The Panel, applying the beyond reasonable doubt standard, found the Respondent guilty of professional misconduct under Canons IV(r) and IV(s). No express finding of dishonesty was made. Sanctions included restitution of $79,500 plus 3% interest, costs of $60,000 to the GLC, return of documents, and a 12-month suspension (or until compliance, whichever earlier).
