In Re Complaint of Hedges

In this disciplinary proceeding the Accused is charged with conduct alleged to be unethical and in violation of the applicable standards of professional conduct. The Oregon State Bar’s complaint contains three causes. The first concerns the Accused’s actions with respect to a real property transaction; the second concerns his handling of a probate matter; the third is the aggregate of the first two. The Accused filed an answer denying that he was guilty of those charges. Most of the facts were stipulated before the Trial Board, and there are no important conflicts in the evidence.

With respect…
