Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
An attorney has been reported for consistently failing to communicate with clients about the status of their cases, leading to client dissatisfaction. After an investigation, the disciplinary board determines that these failures were unintentional but indicate a lack of professionalism. What is the most appropriate disciplinary action for the board to take?
Reprimand the attorney and require completion of additional ethics education.
Reprimanding the attorney and requiring additional ethics training is appropriate for unintentional but unprofessional behavior. Suspension or disbarment would be excessive for non-malicious misconduct, and dismissing the complaint would not address the professionalism issues identified.
