Professional Responsibility – Public reprimand

Where attorney Khaja M. Din accepted significant payments without performing the services, a public reprimand is appropriate.

“With respect to the appropriate level of discipline, upon careful review of the matter, we agree with the referee that Attorney Din’s misconduct warrants a public reprimand. Even though Attorney Din had been practicing law for only a few years at the time he undertook the representations that gave rise to this case, and even though he has no prior disciplinary history, he pled no contest to eight counts of misconduct involving four clients, and he does not dispute the fact that he owes restitution of $14,250. The misconduct allegations at issue here are not insignificant, nor are the violations technical in nature. Attorney Din took fees from clients and failed to complete the agreed upon services. When the clients asked for refunds, he refused to provide them.”
