Heading: Count IV The Little Matter

Text: In February 2002, Jason Little paid respondent $750 to defend him in a civil suit. Respondent failed to contest the lawsuit or otherwise protect his client's interest, and as a result, an unopposed judgment was rendered against Mr. Little in the amount of $3,307.77, plus expert witness fees and court costs. In February 2003, Mr. Little filed a complaint against respondent with the ODC. Respondent failed to reply to the complaint, and he has not refunded any portion of the fee Mr. Little paid. The ODC alleges that respondent's conduct violates the following provisions of the Rules of Professional Conduct: Rules 1.3, 1.5(f)(6), and 8.1(c)/8.4(g) (failure to cooperate with the ODC in its investigation).
