In the Matter of Timothy Orman McCalep (two Cases)

Summary

The Court disbarred Timothy Orman McCalep in two disciplinary matters after finding that he abandoned numerous clients, failed to communicate, mishandled client funds, misrepresented facts, and failed to participate in the disciplinary process. In the matter proceeding by notice of discipline, McCalep's default admitted the alleged facts and eliminated his right to an evidentiary hearing. The Court concluded that the cumulative misconduct, serious client harm, and aggravating circumstances warranted disbarment, while expressly declining to base the sanction on the uncertain alleged violations concerning unauthorized practice of law.
