Professional Responsibility
Suspension

Where attorney Scott F. Anderson was not diligent in a case, failed to keep his client informed, and failed to explain matters to the client, a 60 day suspension is warranted.

“We are not persuaded a monetary penalty would satisfy the objectives of attorney discipline. Attorney Anderson has demonstrated a pattern of misconduct; this is his fourth disciplinary proceeding involving similar misconduct. We note Attorney Anderson's expressions of remorse and his cooperation in these proceedings. We conclude, nonetheless, a license suspension for a minimal period is called for under the circumstances. Attorney Anderson must be impressed with his professional obligation to pursue diligently the interests of those persons who rely on him to protect and further their interests in the legal system. We conclude progressive discipline in the form of a 60-day license suspension is warranted.”
