From capital annex (200. This pretty much says it all

On Nov. 22, 2005, Ronald E. Reynolds, 31, of Houston, accepted a six-month, partially probated suspension effective March 31, 2006, upon completion of his current active suspension, with the first three months actively served and the remainder probated. An evidentiary panel of the District 4-D Grievance Committee found that Reynolds was retained to represent his client in a personal injury case. In January 2004, Reynolds settled the case without his client’s knowledge or consent. Reynolds then received settlement proceeds from the insurer without notifying his client, negotiated the settlement check without distributing the funds to his client, and misrepresented to his client that he was still working on the case after he had successfully negotiated the settlement check. Reynolds violated Rules 1.01(b)(2), 1.03(a) and (b), 1.14(a) and (b), and 8.04(a)(3). He agreed to pay $350 in attorney’s fees.
In another instance, Reynolds neglected matters for three clients:

On Feb. 9, Ronald E. Reynolds [#24025610], 31, of Katy accepted a four-year, partially probated suspension effective April 1, 2005, with the first 364 days actively served and the remainder probated. An evidentiary panel of the District 4-F Grievance Committee found Reynolds was retained in three separate matters and neglected each legal matter entrusted to him. He failed to carry out completely the obligations owed his clients, keep them reasonably informed about the status of their cases, or promptly comply with their reasonable requests for information. Reynolds violated Rules 1.01(b)(1)
and (b)(2) and 1.03(a). He was ordered to pay $3,000 in attorney’s fees.

As you can see, the Olivo/Reynolds battle will be a bloody one. Reynolds clearly has some baggage.

Did anyone get that late Ethics Commission filings report on Dora's opponent?

State Bar: Reynolds Has Seven Suspensions On Record
February 9th, 2010 | by Jamie Mock | Published in News | 27 Comments

Further investigation into the disciplinary history of State Representative District 27 candidate Ron Reynolds indicates he may have as many as seven suspensions on his record with the State Bar of Texas.

Reynolds, a Missouri City resident, will face 11-year incumbent Dora Olivo in the March 2 Democratic Primary.

Reynolds, an attorney with Brown, Brown & Reynolds, P.C., was licensed by the State Bar of Texas in May of 2000. According to the records available online at the State Bar of Texas website, he was sanctioned twice by the bar, and his suspensions were served consecutively. From April 1, 2005 to June 20, 2006, Reynolds was unable to practice law. From June 20, 2006, to June 30, 2009, he was on probation.

Reynolds said he missed two deadlines for summary judgments, which resulted in his consecutive suspensions and probation.

However, a representative of the State Bar of Texas told FortBendNow that Reynolds has seven suspensions on his record. The only suspension the representative mentioned originally was for failing to take continuing education courses. When told that FortBendNow already has information on two additional suspensions, the representative said there were seven on his record, and FortBendNow would have to file an open records request for details.

FortBendNow has filed the request, and will update the story as soon as the information is made available. Reynolds did not immediately return calls for comment.
