In the Matter of Witherspoon, D-157 September Term 2008; Supreme Court; opinion by Hoens, J.; dissent by LaVecchia, J.; decided July 29, 2010. DDS No. 04-1-8847 [46 pp.]
In this matter, the Court considers the appropriate level of discipline for an attorney with a history of discipline who has been found to have engaged in additional unethical conduct in violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct (RPCs), the most serious of which involves offering women legal services or reductions in his fees in exchange for sexual favors. Respondent, David Witherspoon, was admitted to practice in 1994 and was disciplined four times between 2002 and 2008, primarily for failing to communicate with clients.
