Paul Haar

Board Report and Orders (June 24, 2019)

Summary: The Board on Professional Responsibility recommended that the D.C. Court of Appeals dismiss the charges against Haar regarding one client matter and suspend Haar for seven months, followed by one year of probation with conditions, in a second client matter. In the latter, while retained to represent a client in a complex immigration case, Haar engaged in commingling in violation of Rule 1.15(a) when he deposited a flat fee into an operating account that contained his own funds, and he engaged in misappropriation when the balance in that account fell below the amount of the unearned fee, violating Rule 1.15(e).
