I received a letter from the Office of Disciplinary Counsel requesting a response in 30 days. What is the worst thing I can do in terms of responding?
Samuel C. Stretton.
The best thing to do, obviously, is to answer the letter. In days of old, one didn’t have to answer. Now there is a requirement that the letter be answered. A petition for discipline has to be answered or everything is admitted. There is a little more leeway on the letter, but the best practice is to answer the letter.
