Description
In this case, Bar Counsel, acting at the direction of the Review Board, see Maryland Rule 16-709, and prompted by a complaint filed with his office and the disbarrment of Thomas J. McCoy, the respondent, a member of the Delaware bar, by the Supreme Court of Delaware, pursuant to a complaint filed by clients, whom the respondent represented in a medical malpractice action, and with one of whom he had financial dealings, filed a Petition For Disciplinary Action against the respondent, charging the respondent with various, and multiple, violations of the Maryland Rules of Professional Conduct, as adopted by Maryland Rule 16-812, seeking reciprocal and other sanctions. Based on the complaint of the clients, the petition alleged that the respondent violated Rules 1.3, Diligence, 1.4, Communication, 1.16 (a), Declining or Terminating Representation, 3.2, Expediting Litigation, 8.1 (b), Bar Admission and Disciplinary Matters, and 8.4 (d), Misconduct. He was charged, in connection with the reciprocal proceedings, with virtually the same violations that the Supreme Court of Delaware sustained, i.e, Rules 1.2 (a), Scope of Representation, 1.3, 1.15, Safekeeping Property, 1.16 (d), 3.4, Fairness to Opposing Party and Counsel, 8.1 (b), and 8.4 (d).
