Heading: Count III: The Wulf Grievance

Text: ¶ 5 Carla Wulf hired Respondent to file a case for her in Oklahoma County on or about May 1, 2009. She paid him a retainer of $1,000.00 and advanced costs of $212.00. Respondent filed the case on July 14, 2009, but it was dismissed without prejudice on August 4, 2010, because Respondent failed to respond to motions and failed to prosecute the case. Respondent stopped communicating with Wulf and has failed either to keep her informed about the status of the case or to respond to her requests for the return of her file. The Bar mailed a copy of Wulf's grievance to Respondent on October 18, 2010, directing him to respond within twenty days. He failed to respond to the grievance or to attend his deposition. The Bar alleges that Respondent's actions constitute professional misconduct in violation of Rules 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 3.2 and 8.4(d), ORPC, and Rules 1.3 and 5.2, RGDP.
