The Hearing Committee found, and we agree, that Respondent’s failure to pursue Ms. Nesbitt’s case, failure to appear for trial, failure to assert her statutory right to treble damages, failure to secure other counsel to appear when he was unable to do so, and failure to return her telephone calls all amounted to neglect. Once again, we believe that the Hearing Committee has correctly analyzed this aspect of the case.
