Discipline Notice:
Description: Thomas W. Nawalany (WSBA No. 32465, admitted 2002), of Portland, OR, was ordered to receive a reprimand on March 14, 2007, by order of the Washington State Supreme Court imposing reciprocal discipline in accordance with an order of the Supreme Court of Oregon following a stipulation. This discipline was based on his conduct in 2001 involving failure to use the requisite thoroughness and preparation reasonably necessary to represent a client. For more information, see Oregon State Bar Bulletin, Discipline (February/March 2007), available at www.osbar.org/publications/bulletin/07febmar/discipline.html.

Mr. Nawalany’s conduct violated former Oregon DR 6-101(A), requiring a lawyer to provide competent representation to a client.

Felice P. Congalton represented the Bar Association. Christopher R. Hardman represented Mr. Nawalany.
