Supreme Court of Delaware

In an attorney disciplinary proceeding, the Delaware Supreme Court finds that a public reprimand was the appropriate sanction for respondent-attorney where a lawyer's ethical duties under the Interpretive Guideline for Rule 1.16 of the Delaware Lawyers' Rules of Professional Conduct arise any time a lawyer is representing an interested party in a residential real estate transaction, and the borrower or mortgagor is not represented by counsel, and respondent violated Rule 1.16 by failing to provide timely written disclosure to the borrowers.
