Heading: Count 7 Complaint of Beth A. Agnew

Text: Mr. Albright was appointed to be the executor of Ms. Agnew's uncle's estate. Ms. Agnew complained that Mr. Albright would not return her calls. Initially, ODC did not docket the complaint for investigation, but, rather, directed Mr. Albright to contact Ms. Agnew within fifteen days. Mr. Albright failed to make contact with Ms. Agnew, but advised ODC that he would be disbursing checks to the beneficiaries within two or three days. When the checks never materialized, ODC requested a response to the complaint, with which Mr. Albright failed to comply. The HPS found that Mr. Albright violated Rule 8.1(b) of the West Virginia Rules of Professional Conduct. [18]
