Where attorney Matthew O. Olaiya essentially abandoned his practice by moving out of the country without protecting the interests of his clients, failed to return an advance payment of a fee to a client that had not been earned, failed to keep clients informed about the status of their cases and then failed to cooperate with the investigation of the Board of Attorneys Professional Responsibility, we conclude that the seriousness of attorney Olaiya’s conduct warrants a six-month suspension of his license to practice law and an order that he make restitution to two clients.
