Discipline Notice:
Description: Lawyer F. Brian Adae (WSBA No. 8256, admitted June 1978) was ordered disbarred effective May 8, 1997, by order of the Washington State Supreme Court.
The discipline imposed was reciprocal to Adae’s disbarment by the Rhode Island State Supreme Court on June 19, 1996, and by the Supreme Judicial Court for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on September 26, 1996. Adae did not respond to the Washington State Supreme Court's order issued pursuant to Rule 12.6 of the Rules for Lawyer Discipline which directed him to inform the court of any claim that the imposition of identical discipline in this state would be unwarranted and, if so, the reasons therefor. Adae's consent to disbarment in the State of Rhode Island occurred simultaneously with Adae's plea of nolo contendere to a felony criminal charge of embezzlement involving funds delivered to Adae by a client.
