In re Disciplinary Proceeding Against Thomas P. Delaney

This is a consolidation of two disciplinary actions instituted by the Washington State Bar Association (hereinafter called the Bar) against the respondent, Mr. Thomas P. Delaney.

In each case the Board reviewed the case and adopted the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the Panel and forwarded them to this court. For the sake of clarity, the two cases will be discussed separately and we shall hereafter refer only to the Panels findings and conclusions.
