Heading: Count VThe Billizon Matter

Text: In March 2005, Lynne Billizon paid respondent $1,000 to represent her in a property dispute. Thereafter, Ms. Billizon had no further contact with respondent, and he did no work on the matter. In May 2006, Ms. Billizon filed a complaint against respondent with the ODC. Respondent failed to respond to the complaint, necessitating the issuance of a subpoena to take his sworn statement. Respondent failed to appear for the sworn statement. The ODC alleges that respondent's conduct violated Rules 1.3, 1.4, 1.5(f)(5), and 8.1(c) of the Rules of Professional Conduct.
