We hope you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Please be smart and don’t drink and drive. If any of you are struggling with life, please don’t give up. There are people that care about you and people that can help. There are more people going through stuff like you are than you can possibly imagine. You don’t have to do it alone.
What are you all grateful for this year? As always, we’re grateful for you. The blog is pointless without you reading, commenting, and making suggestions. Thanks for being part of it!

Happy Thanksgiving! Bucky’s widow was disbarred. Once again the greatest sin to the Bar is not stealing money; it’s not answering the telephone when the OBC calls.
Obviously you didn't read NSC's disbarment order.
Or partnering with a non-lawyer and having the non-lawyer do work, or billing clients for work after you are terminated.
Who's Bucky?
Bucky Buchanan. A real character. Criminal defense attorney. Lots of stories.
Who's Bucky?
Who TF are you? Boyd 2018?

No Boyd 12
Not surprised. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt with 2018.
All fair points. But the OP's comment actually has real merit before you all dispel and dismiss. The OBC prosecutes failure to answer the Complaint much harder than actual substantive violations.
I don't have experience with OBC specifically, but in general agencies emphasize failure to investigate because it's a lot easier to prove than the underlying substantive violation (among other reasons). If you're a plaintiff, would you focus on your long-shot RICO claim or your straightforward breach of contract claim?
I would focus on the professional death penalty for people who steal monies and not on people who simply do not answer a Complaint. The goal of discipline should not be about "winning" but about protecting the profession and public only to the proportionate amount that is merited and no more. Think if the punishment for not answering a shoplifting citation and a sexual assault charge were the same.
