Attorney Grievance Comm'n v. Davis

Summary

The Court of Appeals of Maryland treated the hearing judge’s factual findings as established because neither party filed exceptions, independently reviewed the legal conclusions, and sustained all charged professional-conduct violations. The Court held that Respondent’s failure to file the promised custody-related motion, abandonment and noncommunication, failure to refund unearned fees, misrepresentations, and noncooperation with the disciplinary investigation warranted an indefinite suspension without a specified minimum reinstatement period. The Court also entered judgment for the Commission for the costs of the proceeding.
