Attorney Don Becker of Houston; unethical thief 

 
The state of Texas presented Don D. Becker with a law license in 1990 after he graduated from South Texas Law School.
 
A panel of the District 4-B Grievance Committee found Don guilty of the following misconduct.
  1. Neglected client’s legal matter
  2. Failed to keep client reasonably informed about status of legal matter
  3. Failed to comply with client’s reasonable requests for information
  4. Failed to refund unearned fees (thief)
  5. Failed to return client papers to client after being fired
  6. Engaged in conduct adversely reflecting on his fitness to practice law
Don found it appropriate to retain over $2,000 in fees that he never earned after his client (victim) fired him, which led the client to file an ethics complaint. Subsequently, the Grievance Committee ordered Don to refund $2,175 to his client for fees he never earned.
 
As a consequence of his misconduct the Patron Saints for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Grievance Committee punished Don by gifting him with a 180-day suspension of his law license.
 
As we speak (ca. October 2012) Don practices at 13201 Northwest Freeway in Houston, Texas.
