Listen to this article

Even though the motion for reconsideration of our Nov. 29, 2001 opinion regarding disciplinary proceedings against Kathryn P. Karlsson, which was submitted by the Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR), will be denied, we do hereby clarify that opinion by noting that attorney Karlsson’s: (1) failure to comply with discovery requests, which resulted in an award of costs against her client, and her failure to enter the judgment in favor of her client, was a failure to act with reasonable diligence in representing her client; and (2) failure to respond to numerous telephone calls made on behalf of that client inquiring as to the status of his personal injury action constituted a failure to keep her client reasonably informed about the status of the matter.

Further, for a period of two years after attorney Karlsson’s reinstatement, we direct that another attorney, approved by the OLR, must review and monitor Karlsson’s practice.
