Heading: Count 3Loggins Matter

Text: On May 26, 1999, Duane M. Loggins retained respondent to obtain his release from jail on bond. Mr. Loggins paid respondent a total of $1,200, $200 of which represented the processing fee. [5] Shortly after retaining respondent, Mr. Loggins was released due to prison overcrowding. After Mr. Loggins was released, respondent failed to communicate with him, as well as refused to account for or refund the funds paid to him. In July 1999, Mr. Loggins filed a complaint with the ODC. The ODC forwarded a copy of the complaint to respondent, but he failed to reply to the ODC's request for information. As a result, the ODC was required to issue a subpoena compelling respondent to appear and produce documents at a scheduled deposition. Respondent ultimately provided an accounting to Mr. Loggins and refunded $350 of his fee.
