Case No. 14-12-GA Notice Issued: November 13,2014
Todd Zachary, P 55660, Birmingham, Michigan, by the Attorney Discipline Board Tri-County Hearing Panel #59.
1. Reprimand 2. Effective November 8, 2014 The respondent and the Grievance Administrator filed a stipulation for a consent order of discipline, in accordance with MCR 9.115(F)(5), which was approved by the Attorney Grievance Commission and accepted by the hearing panel. Based on respondent's plea of no contest, the hearing panel found that respondent neglected three legal matters, in violation of MRPC 1.1 (c); failed to act with reasonable diligence and promptness, in violation of MRPC 1.3; and failed to keep his clients reasonably informed about the status of their matters, in violation of MRPC 1.4(a). The panel also found that respondent violated MRPC 8.4(a) and (c), and MCR 9.104(1)-(4).
In accordance with the stipulation of the parties, the hearing panel ordered that respondent be reprimanded and be subject to conditions relevant to the alleged misconduct. Costs were assessed in the amount of $856.11.
