Heading: Allegations Regarding Failure to Eliminate Public References to Davis Law LLC

Text: The Supreme Court in Sanders held that a suspended attorney must be careful to avoid communications with the public that suggest that he is a practicing attorney. Davis acknowledged that the Suspension Order so required by describing the care he took to remove signage, business cards, letterhead or emails containing Davis Law. [108] Yet the ODC provided evidence that Davis sent on July 13, 2009 an email to Nixon with the email address mdavis@davislawworks. com. in response to an email from Nixon to the Redwood paralegals that similarly reflects that their email addresses ended in davislawworks.com. [109] He also was copied on an email an email dated July 26, 2009 to two realtors from Donna Marshall, then a Redwood employee, whose email address was listed as donna@davislawworks.com. to a member of the public that reflects the email address davislawworks.com. [110] The Panel finds that the ODC proved by clear and convincing evidence that Davis knowingly violated the Suspension Order by failing to eliminate references to Davis Law in post-suspension communications, including in communications to members of the public by a Redwood employee.
