ZALMA OPINION

It takes a great deal of wrong doing to be disbarred by a state where the lawyer is not licensed to practice law. Hopefully, the bar in the District of Columbia will take notice and disbar him from practicing law there since his actions in mishandling simple tort claims and a simple, easy to prove, underinsured motorist claim requires that government of all jurisdictions to protect the public from a dishonest lawyer who violated almost every possible rule of professional conduct.
