panel’s finding that his testimony was not credible. He also objected to the hearing panel’s conclusions that he had violated N.D.R. Prof. Conduct 1.7(a) and 1.14. II. This Court reviews disciplinary proceedings de novo on the record. Disciplinary Board v. Askew, 2010 ND 7, 776 N.W.2d 816 (citing Disciplinary Board v. Light, 2009 ND 83, 765 N.W.2d 536). Counsel for the Disciplinary Board must prove each alleged violation by clear and convincing evidence, which means the trier of fact must be reasonably satisfied with the facts the evidence tends to prove and thus be led to a firm belief or conviction. Id. “We give due weight to the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the Disciplinary Board, but we do not act as a mere rubber stamp for the Board.” Id. A. Rule 1.7(a) of the North Dakota Rules of Professional Conduct states, “A lawyer shall not represent a client if the lawyer’s ability to consider, recommend, or carry out a course of action on behalf of the client will be adversely affected by the lawyer’s responsibilities to another client or to a third person, or by the lawyer’s own interests.” The hearing panel concluded Kuhn violated the rule when he: Represented Ronald and Randy, who were seeking appointment as guardians/conservators over Kuhn’s long-time client, Jake, and then drafted a new will for Jake, which favored the interests of Ronald and Randy, after Kuhn had represented Ronald and Randy at the guardianship/conservatorship hearing and after Jake had been judicially declared incapacitated. Kuhn argues the hearing panel’s conclusion is not supported by clear and convincing evidence. He asserts no conflict existed because he did not represent Jake Leno at the time of the guardianship/conservatorship hearing, and he did not represent Ronald Leno and Randy Leno at the time Jake Leno made his second will. Counsel for the Disciplinary Board did not allege Kuhn had violated N.D.R. Prof. Conduct 1.9, Duties to Former Client. Rather, counsel for the Disciplinary Board argues clear and convincing evidence shows Kuhn’s alternating representation of Jake Leno and his sons created a conflict of interest under N.D.R. Prof. Conduct 1.7(a). The record does not include clear and convincing evidence Jake Leno was Kuhn’s client at the time of the guardianship/conservatorship hearing. The record indicates Kuhn did tax work for Jake Leno multiple times since 1974 and drafted a will for him in 2005. The record does not explain the course of dealing between Kuhn and Jake Leno; whether Jake Leno hired Kuhn on retainer or whether they entered into a new contract each time Jake Leno requested Kuhn perform a task. Without such an explanation, Jake Leno’s status as a current or former client of Kuhn is unclear. See Restatement (Third) of the Law Governing Lawyers § 31(2)(e) (2000) (explaining the relationship between a lawyer and a client “ends as provided by contract or because the lawyer has completed the contemplated services”). The record also does not include an explanation of Jake Leno’s understanding of his professional relationship with Kuhn. See Restatement (Third) of the Law Governing Lawyers §18(2) (2000)(stating a contract between a lawyer and a client should be construed “as a reasonable person in the circumstances of the client would have construed it”). In examining the allegations in the petition for discipline and the findings of the hearing panel we are 15
uncertain as to the client relationships that existed at the times the hearing panel found the violations to have occurred. Rule 1.7(a) prohibits a lawyer from representing a client if it will adversely affect the lawyer’s responsibilities to another client. The rule does not prohibit all alternating representation but appears to assume a client relationship at the time of the violation. Without clear and convincing evidence Jake Leno was Kuhn’s client at the time of the guardianship/conservatorship hearing, the hearing panel’s conclusion that Kuhn violated N.D.R. Prof. Conduct 1.7 (a), Conflict of Interest, is not supported by the record. B. Rule 1.14 of the North Dakota Rules of Professional Conduct states, in pertinent part: (a) When a client’s capacity to make adequately considered decisions in connection with a representation is limited, whether because of minority, mental impairment, or for some other reason, the lawyer shall, as far as reasonably possible, maintain a normal client-lawyer relationship with the client. (b) When the lawyer reasonably believes that the client has limited capacity, is at risk of substantial physical, financial, or other harm unless action is taken, and the client cannot adequately act in the client’s own interest, the lawyer may take reasonably necessary protective action, including consulting with individuals or entities that have the ability to take action to protect the client and, in appropriate cases, seeking the appointment of a guardian ad litem, conservator, or guardian. Comment 5 of the rule states, “If the client has an appointed representative, the lawyer should ordinarily look to the representative for decisions on behalf of the client. The lawyer should be cognizant of the extent of the powers and duties conferred upon the client’s appointed representative.” N.D.R. Prof. Conduct 1.14, comment 5. The hearing panel concluded Kuhn violated Rule 1.14 when he “prepared a new will for Jake without communicating with or securing decision-making authority from GAPS, the court-appointed guardian and conservator with full authority over Jake’s legal matters.” Kuhn argues he did not violate Rule 1.14 because he was abiding by his client’s wishes. Kuhn cites Comment 3 of Rule 1.14: The fact that a client is a minor or has limited capacity does not diminish the lawyer’s obligation to treat the client with attention and respect. Even if the person has an appointed representative, the lawyer should as far as possible accord the represented person the status of client, particularly in maintaining communication. Appointed representatives include guardians ad litem, conservators, guardians, individuals appointed in a durable power of attorney or in an advanced health care directive. Kuhn argues he was fulfilling his duty to give Jake Leno attention and respect when he drafted the new will. Kuhn concedes he had a responsibility to communicate with Jake Leno’s guardian/conservator, but Kuhn testified he believed he was acting with the consent of GAPS. The hearing panel found this testimony was not credible. “[W]e defer to the hearing panel’s findings on the credibility of a 16
