Heading: COUNT 6 In Hui Won

Text: ¶ 23 On September 1, 2008, In Hui Won filed a grievance with the Office of the General Counsel alleging the respondent had abandoned his brother's and sister-in-law's immigration matters. His brother's case had been closed after the respondent paid the filing fees with an insufficient funds check. Mr. Won was forced to hire another lawyer to represent his brother, but the appeal of the denial of his visa was also denied. The attorney is currently working with Congressional officials to protect the brother from immediate deportation. Due to the respondent's inattention, Mr. Won's sister-in-law was forced to leave the United States and is now living in Korea. ¶ 24 The respondent failed to respond to each letter from the Office of the General Counsel regarding this grievance. The respondent's acts of misconduct in Count 6 constitute professional misconduct in violation of Rules 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.15, and 8.1(b), ORPC, 5 O.S.2001, as modified by 5 O.S.Supp.2008, ch. 1, app. 3-A, and Rules 1.3 and 5.2, RGDP, 5 O.S.2001, ch. 1, app. 1-A.
