Discipline Summaries

June 15, 2002

MARK STANLEY RADER [#67210], 58, of Blue Jay was suspended for one year, stayed, actually suspended for 45 days and until the State Bar Court grants a motion to terminate the suspension, and was ordered to take the MPRE. If the suspension exceeds 90 days, he must comply with rule 955; if it exceeds two years, he must prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect June 15, 2002.

In a default proceeding, the bar court found that Rader failed to perform legal services competently by not completing a workers' compensation case within five years.

The case began in 1987, when Rader's client was injured as a result of inhaling fumes from the ruptured radiator of a bus. The injury occurred during a trip she took for her employer. She hired Rader to handle both the personal injury and workers' compensation cases.

The personal injury case settled in 1991.

The case against the employer was complicated by the company's failure to carry workers' comp insurance and the death of the company owner.

In 1996, it was scheduled for a pre-trial conference, which was continued. For the next seven months, the client succeeded in contacting Rader only once. At one point she was hospitalized as a result of the injury and sent her medical report to Rader, asking for an update on her case.

In 2000, Rader sent the client a letter apologizing for not working on her case. Contacted by a bar investigator, he said he would bring the case to conclusion. The file was located in the archives of the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board.
