OKLAHOMA BAR ASSOCIATION, Complainant, v. Elaine MEEK, Respondent. BAR DISCIPLINE PROCEEDING [927 P.2d 554] ¶0 The complainant, Oklahoma Bar Association (Bar Association), charged the respondent, Elaine Meek, with six counts of professional misconduct. The allegations involve unprofessional behavior with clients and with the Bar Association in the grievance process. The respondent was personally served with the complaint, but she did not answer. A motion to deem the allegations admitted was granted. Although under an order to appear, the respondent did not attend the disciplinary proceeding. After hearing evidence of the respondent's misconduct, the trial panel recommended disbarment. We find that: 1) there is clear and convincing evidence of the respondent's misconduct; and 2) the respondent's misconduct, her disciplinary history, discipline administered in similar cases and the respondent's total disregard for the grievance process warrant disbarment and the payment of costs in the amount of $1,134.80.
