Heading: Count 2Complaint of Trampes E. Morgan

Text: In July 2008, Trampes Morgan contacted Mr. Morgan about representation in a civil action in Braxton County for which he paid Mr. Morgan $2,600.00. At the beginning of his representation, Mr. Morgan would inform his client about upcoming hearings, only to then tell the client that court hearings had been postponed due to opposing counsel. This happened on at least three occasions. Eventually, Mr. Morgan failed to answer his client's phone calls or return messages. The client also discovered that, despite Mr. Morgan's representations, nothing had been filed in court. In February 2009, Trampes Morgan filed a complaint against Mr. Morgan with the ODC. The ODC forwarded the complaint to Mr. Morgan, requesting a verified response within twenty days. Mr. Morgan failed to respond; thus, the ODC sent a second letter that was signed for and received by Mr. Morgan on March 12, 2009. Mr. Morgan's reply was filed on March 30, 2009.
