Text: ¶ 21 L.G. testified to the effect that he relied on Attorney Nunnery but was kept in the dark as to the ongoing progress of his lawsuits. L.G. claimed not to have received copies of correspondence, and that his phone calls to Attorney Nunnery were rarely returned. Without informing L.G., Attorney Nunnery signed a stipulation for dismissal on January 11, 2005. The referee did not find credible Attorney Nunnery's assertions that from 2005 to 2006 he had various discussions with L.G. regarding his case. The referee determined Attorney Nunnery did not communicate with his client regarding the dismissal of his second lawsuit and did not fully disclose to his client the significance of the administrative closing of the third lawsuit, contrary to SCR 20:1.2(a).
