In the Matter of a Member of the Bar of the Supreme Court of Delaware, Adam R. Elgart

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware independently reviewed the Board on Professional Responsibility’s factual findings and legal conclusions because the respondent filed no exceptions. It upheld the findings that the respondent neglected a client’s matter, failed to communicate and distribute settlement funds, and failed to provide complete information to disciplinary authorities, and it imposed a public reprimand, eighteen months of probation, specified conditions, and costs. The court treated the Board’s recommended sanction as helpful but nonbinding.
