Text: Ethel Bradford retained Earl Lindsay for the first time in 1983. Satisfied with his representation in her divorce proceeding, she turned to him in a child support matter. Bradford complained that Lindsay neglected to send her a copy of the consent judgment and refused to return her phone calls. At the hearing, Lindsay claimed that he had performed services on Bradford's behalf, appearing with her in court on April 23, 1986, and entering into a consent agreement. Opposing counsel prepared the judgment, but Lindsay found it unacceptable and returned it for modification. A new judgment was finally signed on February 18, 1987. Lindsay believed that Bradford was upset because: (1) she did not understand why the judge would not grant her all the relief she sought; and (2) she thought that her rights were infringed in a bench conference which she could not hear.
