Text: ¶ 34 The Trial Panel concluded that Respondent's failure to keep his client informed of the status of the probate action and the necessity to file an estate tax return, along with his mishandling of the heirship, violated the Oklahoma Rules of Professional Conduct (ORPC), 5 O.S.1991, ch. 1, App. 3-A, and were cause for discipline. We agree that Respondent violated the following Rules of Professional Conduct: 1.1 (failing to provide competent representation), 1.3 (failing to act with reasonable diligence and promptness), 1.4 (failing to keep his client reasonably informed), and 1.5 (charging a fee that was unreasonable because he failed to do all of the work for which he charged).
