On Monday, June 17, 2024, the Supreme Court of Oklahoma approved the resignation of attorney Chad Adrian Greer from legal practice pending disciplinary action.
The case is entitled “Oklahoma Bar Association v. Chad Adrian Greer,” with case no. OBAD #2464.
The charges cited Oklahoma Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.15, 8.1, and 8.4(a).
Greer chose to resign from the bar in the face of six alleged rule violations concerning diligent representation of clients, communication with clients and the bar association, accounting for and refunding unearned fees, performing work billed for, and cooperating with an investigation of client complaints.
In his resignation affidavit, Greer acknowledged the claims against him would constitute infractions of multiple professional conduct rules if proven. He also stated that his decision to resign was made freely and without coercion.
The Supreme Court accepted Greer’s resignation, striking his name from the bar roll and barring him from seeking reinstatement for five years. As part of resignation, which is treated as disbarment, Greer must notify current clients within 20 days by certified mail that he can no longer represent them.
The order imposed $684.95 in costs on Greer for disciplinary proceedings. The Supreme Court concurred with the approval of Greer’s voluntary resignation from legal practice in Oklahoma pending the complaints filed against him.
According to lawyers.justia.com, Mr. Greer attended the University of Tulsa, graduating in 1995. He acquired his law license in Oklahoma in the same year.
