In Re: Carlos J. Nazario Díaz
May 26, 20162016 TSPR 111
Summary
The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico suspended attorney Carlos J. Nazario Díaz from the practice of law and notary for six months for violating Canons 12, 18, 19, 20 and 38 of the Code of Professional Ethics. The court found he failed to appear at an eviction hearing, allowed the jurisdictional period to appeal to the Court of Appeals to lapse, failed to keep his client informed of adverse rulings, and refused to withdraw when requested. The court rejected his personal-circumstances excuses and weighed his prior disciplinary history as an aggravating factor.
