Tanner suit stipulated to a dismissal without prejudice.
You are hereby publicly reprimanded for the following violations of the Supreme Court Rules of Professional Conduce: SCR 121 (confidentiality), for disclosing in litigation the existence of the state bar grievance that you purportedly filed on behalf of the Bates; SCR 157 (conflict of interest), for unnecessarily embroiling the Bates in your personal lawsuit for fees and breach of employment contract; SCR 170 (meritorious claims), for naming Vannah and his firm as defendants in the Tanner suit without even so much as asserting a cause of action against them or a good faith basis for their inclusion, in a frivolous action calculated to harass, embarrass or otherwise intimidate; SCR 172 (candor toward a tribunal), for misrepresenting a material fact to a tribunal when you stated that the Bates could not recover their portion of the settlement because of Greene's lien; and SCR 203(3) (misconduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation), for misrepresenting to Greene that the Bates' case had little or no value when you had received two significant offers from opposing counsel, and for failing to disclose these offers, all in a dishonest attempt to obtain the entire contingency fee for yourself despite the Firm's legitimate interest in said fee.
It is so ORDERED.
