IN RE: DISCIPLINE OF Douglas C. CRAWFORD (2025)

ORDER OF DISBARMENT

The State Bar has filed, under SCR 112, a petition for attorney Douglas C. Crawford's disbarment by consent. The petition has been approved by the chair of the Southern Nevada Disciplinary Board and is supported by a declaration from Crawford. The declaration states that Crawford freely and voluntarily consents to disbarment after having had the opportunity to consult with counsel. Crawford acknowledges that he violated the terms of a reinstatement order issued by this court and that the State Bar provided documentation with an SCR 102(4) petition that shows Crawford violated RPC 1.8(j) (conflict of interest: sexual relations with a client), RPC 8.4(a) (misconduct: violation or attempted violation of the RPCs), and RPC 8.4(b) (misconduct: criminal act that reflects adversely on fitness of a lawyer). Finally, Crawford concedes that the material facts in the petition for disbarment by consent are true and admits that he could not successfully defend against a disciplinary complaint.

SCR 112 provides that an attorney who is the subject of a proceeding involving allegations of misconduct may consent to disbarment by delivering an affidavit to bar counsel, who must file it with this court. Crawford's declaration meets the requirements of SCR 112(1). See NRS 53.045. We thus conclude that the petition must be granted. SCR 112(2). Accordingly, attorney Douglas C. Crawford is disbarred from the practice of law in Nevada. The provisions of SCR 115 and SCR 121.1 governing notice and publication of orders of disbarment shall apply to this order.

It is so ORDERED.
