In the Matter of Stephen Anthony Power

Summary

The Court disbarred Stephen Anthony Power after finding that his default admitted multiple instances of client abandonment, failure to communicate, failure to refund an unearned fee, trust-account overdrafts, and failure to respond to disciplinary inquiries. The Court held that service by publication was sufficient, that Power's failure to file a Notice of Rejection placed him in default and waived an evidentiary hearing, and that disbarment was appropriate given the pattern of misconduct. No separate opinions were filed.
