RPC: 8.4 (l) - Violate ELCs
Discipline Notice:
Description: Gregory Scott Wilson (WSBA No. 12012, admitted 1981), of Tacoma, was suspended for nine months, effective May 13, 2004, by order of the Washington State Supreme Court following a hearing. This discipline was based on his failure to comply with the terms of a prior disciplinary order. (Mr. Wilson is to be distinguished from Gregory M. Wilson of Greenacres.)

In May 2000, the Washington State Supreme Court approved Mr. Wilson's stipulation to a 30-day suspension. The stipulation required Mr. Wilson to obtain malpractice insurance, or provide written notification of rejection by three companies. Mr. Wilson was also required to make monthly payments to the client involved in that matter.

In April 2003, the Washington State Supreme Court approved Mr. Wilson's stipulation to a three-month suspension for failing to comply with the conditions in the May 2000 order. Mr. Wilson returned to practice on July 1, 2003. Although he paid the required restitution, the payments were not timely and not paid pursuant to electronic transfer as ordered. Mr. Wilson did not provide written notification of rejection by three malpractice insurers by the date required. The hearing officer found Mr. Wilson's conduct to be a continuation of the type of conduct in the May 2000 suspension.

Mr. Wilson's conduct violated Rules for Enforcement of Lawyer Conduct (ELC) 12.8(b), stating that failure to comply with a condition of probation may be grounds for discipline.

Anne I. Seidel represented the Bar Association. Brett A. Purtzer represented Mr. Wilson. James M. Danielson was the hearing officer.
