| Description: |
Rami Amaro (WSBA No. 29389, admitted 1999), of Hayden, Idaho, received a reprimand on November 8, 2010, by order of the Washington State Supreme Court imposing reciprocal discipline in accordance with an order of the Idaho State Supreme Court following approval of a stipulation. This discipline is based on conduct involving the unauthorized disclosure of client information. For more information, see the Idaho State Bar’s official publication, The Advocate (September 2009), available at http://isb.idaho.gov/pdf/advocate/issues/adv09sep.pdf.
Ms. Amaro’s conduct violated Idaho’s RPC 1.6, prohibiting a lawyer from revealing information relating to representation of a client unless the client gives informed consent, the disclosure is impliedly authorized in order to carry out the representation, or the disclosure is permitted by the rules; and Idaho’s RPC 1.9, prohibiting a lawyer who has formerly represented a client in a matter from thereafter using information relating to the representation to the disadvantage of the former client or from revealing information relating to the representation except as permitted by the Rules.
M. Craig Bray represented the Bar Association. Ms. Rami represented herself. |
