Another Probate Lawyer Behaves Badly

A Wimberley, Texas attorney recently received a two-year, partially probated suspension with the first six months actively served because of less-than-professional conduct regarding the probate of a will.  According the report in Disciplinary Actions, Tex. B.J. 370, 374 (April 2006):

[Attorney] neglected a probate case by failing to file the application for six months, failed to prepare for a court hearing, canceled a hearing on the morning that it was to be held, and failed to ever secure another setting. [Attorney] failed to return her client’s telephone calls and failed to keep her client informed about the status of the case.  [Attorney] failed to withdraw from the representation when her physical condition impaired her ability to represent her client.
