Description
The Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility filed a petition for disciplinary action against Ragnhild A. Westby, an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Minnesota, alleging professional misconduct warranting public discipline. The alleged misconduct relates to Westbys interactions with four individuals and the Director. The Director claims that Westby (1) failed to act with reasonable diligence and promptness in representing a client, (2) failed to communicate with a client, (3) failed to place client funds in a trust account, (4) knowingly disobeyed an obligation under the rules of a tribunal, (5) failed to be truthful in statements to others, (6) engaged in the unauthorized practice of law, (7) failed to respond to requests for information from the Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility, (8) engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation, and (9) engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice. At the time these alleged acts of misconduct occurred, Westby was suspended from the practice of law for prior professional misconduct.
