Text: ¶ 51 In Count X, the OBA charged Respondent with violating Rules 1.1 (competence), 1.3 (diligence), 1.5 (reasonable fees), 1.7(b) (conflict of interest  sexual relations prohibited), 1.8(b) (conflict of interest  use of information to the disadvantage of the client), 1.16(a)(1) (withdrawal of representation), 2.1 (scope of advice), 8.4(a) (violation or attempted violations of the ORPC) and 8.4(d) (conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice) of the ORPC and Rule 1.3 (acts that bring discredit on the legal profession) of the RGDP. T.B. offered conflicting testimony regarding the dates of Respondent's representation of her. She claimed that Respondent represented her at a time when he was not practicing law and also that Respondent caused her to lose a home that was foreclosed upon several months before she met Respondent. We agree with the PRT that the OBA failed to support its allegations with clear and convincing evidence.
