Wyo. R. Disciplinary P. 21

(a) After the entry of an order of disbarment, suspension, or transfer to disability

inactive status, the attorney may not accept any new retainer or employment as an

attorney in any new case or legal matter; provided, however, that during any period

between the date of entry of an order and its effective date the attorney may, with the

written consent of the client after full disclosure, wind up or complete any matters

pending on the date of entry of the order.

(b) Notice to Clients in Pending Matters. — An attorney against whom an order of

disbarment, suspension, or transfer to disability inactive status has been entered shall

promptly notify in writing by certified mail each client whom the attorney represents in

a matter still pending of the order entered against the attorney and of the attorney’s

consequent inability to act as an attorney after the effective date of such order, and

advising such client to seek legal services elsewhere.

(c) Notice to Parties in Litigation. — An attorney against whom an order of

disbarment, suspension, or transfer to disability inactive status is entered and who

represents a client in a matter involving litigation or proceedings before an administrative body shall notify that client as required by section (b) of this rule, and shall

recommend that the client promptly obtain substitute counsel. In addition, the lawyer

must notify in writing by certified mail the opposing counsel of the order entered

against the attorney and of the attorney’s consequent inability to act as an attorney

after the effective date of the order. The notice to opposing counsel shall state the

mailing address of the client of the attorney against whom the order was entered. If the

client of the attorney against whom an order was entered does not obtain substitute

counsel before the effective date of such order, the attorney must appear before the

court or administrative body in which the proceeding is pending and move for leave to

withdraw.

(d) Affidavit Filed With Court. — Within fourteen (14) days after the effective date of

the order of disbarment, suspension, or transfer to disability inactive status, or within

such additional time as allowed by the Court, the attorney shall file with the Court an

affidavit setting forth a list of all pending matters in which the attorney served as

counsel and showing:

(1) That the attorney has fully complied with the provisions of the order and of

this Rule;

(2) That the attorney has served on Bar Counsel a copy of the affidavit, a list of

the clients notified pursuant to subsection (b) of this rule and a copy of each notice

provided; and

(3) That the attorney has notified every other jurisdiction before which the

attorney is admitted to practice of the order entered against attorney.

(4) Such affidavit shall also set forth the address of the attorney to which

communication may thereafter be directed.

(e) Return of Client Property. — The attorney who has been disbarred, suspended or

transferred to disability inactive status shall deliver to all clients being represented in

pending matters any papers or other property to which they are entitled and shall

notify them and any counsel representing them of a suitable time and place where the

papers and other property may be obtained, calling attention to any urgency in

obtaining the papers or other property. The attorney shall refund within ten days after

entry of the order of disbarment, suspension or transfer to disability inactive status any

fee paid in advance that has not been earned.

(f) Duty to Maintain Records. — An attorney who has been disbarred, suspended or

transferred to disability inactive status shall keep and maintain records of any steps

taken by the attorney pursuant to this rule as proof of compliance with this rule and

with the order entered against the attorney. Failure to comply with this section without

good cause shown shall constitute contempt of the Court. Proof of compliance with this

section shall be a condition precedent to any petition for reinstatement or readmission.

(g) Duty to File Annual License Fee Statements. — The attorney shall continue to file

an annual license fee statement during the period of suspension or for five years

following the effective date of an order of disbarment, listing the attorney’s residence or

other address where communications may thereafter be directed to the attorney;

provided, however, that the annual license fee need not be paid during such period

unless and until the attorney is reinstated. Upon reinstatement the attorney shall pay

the annual license fee for the year in which reinstatement occurs.
