How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that respondent had prejudiced his client by withdrawing and causing her “to restart the probate process with a new attorney and post a . . . probate bond”
• observing that “the record support[ed] the Board’s determination that [respondent] showed no remorse during the disciplinary process, but instead repeated his false accusations against [his client] and continued to falsely blame [his client]”
• disbarring lawyer with no previous discipline for making “prolonged and repeated” false statements to client and Disciplinary Counsel over two-year period and showing no remorse
• “The repeated and protracted nature of Mr. Baber’s dishonesty weighs significantly in favor of disbarment.”
• “honesty is basic to the practice of law, and . . . lawyers have a greater duty than ordinary citizens to be scrupulously honest at all times”
• disbarment warranted, even in the absence of prior disciplinary record, where dishonesty came at the expense of clients’ interests, was compounded by conduct that betrayed client confidences, and prejudiced clients and attorney showed no remorse
