Heading: R.K. Matter

Text: R.K. retained De Rycke in October 2001 on a DWI matter. De Rycke told R.K. he would reschedule R.K.'s court hearing, but he failed to do so. As a result, R.K. did not appear and was charged for failing to appear. The charge was later dropped and the hearing was rescheduled. De Rycke failed to appear at this hearing and did not notify R.K. or the court of his absence. R.K. acted on his own behalf and was able to reschedule the hearing. De Rycke later told R.K. that he missed the hearing because he had car problems, but he did not answer when R.K. asked why he did not call him or notify the court.
