Supreme Court of Louisiana

In Re: Neil Dennis William Montgomery

August 31, 2018251 So. 3d 401

Summary

The court found that Neil Dennis William Montgomery violated multiple professional-conduct rules by neglecting two client matters, failing to communicate, failing to account for or refund unearned fees, and failing to cooperate with disciplinary investigations. It imposed a suspension of one year and one day, ordered an accounting and restitution with legal interest, and assessed costs. Justice Clark would have imposed disbarment, while Justice Crichton, dissenting in part, likewise considered suspension too lenient and would have imposed disbarment.
