| Description: |
Bob Casey (WSBA No. 16527, admitted 1986), of Portland, Oregon, was ordered to receive a reprimand, effective July 1, 2005, by order of the Washington State Supreme Court imposing reciprocal discipline based on an order of the Supreme Court of the State of Oregon approving a stipulation for discipline. This discipline was based on his conduct in 2004 involving the practice of law while suspended from active membership in the Oregon State Bar.
In 2004, Mr. Casey failed to pay his membership fees to the Oregon State Bar and, after proper notice, was suspended from active membership on July 2, 2004. Between July 2, 2004, and August 11, 2004, Mr. Casey practiced law in Oregon while he was not an active member of the Oregon State Bar.
Mr. Casey's conduct violated Oregon DR 3-101(B), prohibiting a lawyer from practicing law in a jurisdiction where to do so would be in violation of regulations of the profession in that jurisdiction.
Felice P. Congalton represented the Bar Association. Mr. Casey did not appear in the proceeding either personally or through counsel. |
