Zach,
I am responding to your e-mail as Pete is out of town and Mike is in
trial. I contacted the State Bar this morning to inquire as to how you
go about having your application for admittance reconsidered by the
Supreme Court. I was told by Ms. Eichman's assistant that you need to
prepare a letter of intent to have your application reconsidered. Said
letter must be submitted to the Bar prior to October 1, 2003. Please
forward all correspondence through our office so Pete or Mike may review
it prior thereto. Additionally, as to your previous question with
regard to your quarterly reports, the reports are due at the end of each
quarter. Therefore, your next report is due at the end of September.
Finally, in previous conversations you indicated you have misplaced your
copy of the Consent Agreement signed on September 9, 2002. I have
requested a copy on your behalf and will forward the same to you once I
receive it. Please provide me with an updated mailing address at your
convenience. I would prefer not to fax it.
Please contact me should you have any further questions.

Subject: client correspondence`
Dear Miss Huff,
I have left five telephone messages over a period of one and a half
months
and written numerous emails to Pete and Mike. This does not seem to keep
with the attorney's duty to keep clients informed and to communicate
with
clients. I wish to have some sort of corresponence from my attorney of
record. The court's order states that it is reconsidering my application
in
October of 2003.

Zach,
We received a letter yesterday from Bo Barker inquiring into the status
of your file with our office. Mr. Christiansen has also reviewed the
various e-mails sent to Mike and me with regard to your file. Per Mr.
Christiansen, all the documentation you have submitted to our office
along with the Stipulation you signed has been submitted to the State
Bar of Nevada. As such, Mr. Christiansen has concluded his
representation of your interests and will now be closing out your file
with our office. Therefore, there is nothing to communicate to Mr.
Barker. Although one has already been provided to you, if you would
like another copy of your file, please contact me within the next 10
days before your file is sent to storage. All other questions you may
have with regard to your admittance to practice in Nevada may be
directed to the State Bar office.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our
office.

Zach,
1. I will attempt to mail you another copy of your file. Please
confirm you mailing address to me in an e-mail. We have tried to mail
your file to you on two occasions the last of which was October 2003 to
the address you provided of 631 Humboldt Frt, Reno, NV 89509. Our mail
was returned. As to your request for "complete" copy of your file, we
always send complete copies of files upon the request of a client.
2. There is no itemization for the services rendered to you. Mr.
Christiansen charged you a flat fee to handle your hearings with the
State Bar which fee was paid by your father. Mr. Christiansen continued
to monitor your case as a courtesy and no such itemized records were
kept for time we did not charge you.
3. On September 10, 2003, after my conversation with Ms. Eichman's
assistant, I set forth in my e-mail to you the specific procedure for
which to have your admittance to the Stat Bar reconsidered. You were to
prepare a letter of intent and forward it to our office. No such letter
was ever received from you. The letter was due to the State bar on or
before October 1, 2003.
4. Other than an invoice from our office, I do not see a signed fee
agreement in your file. I will send you any billing records I have
along with a copy of your file when you send me confirmation of your
billing address.

Zach- This seems unusual. If there was an agreement for a flat fee representation it
should be supported by a written fee agreement. You, Tim and I should have a
conference call. I am surprised by what appears to be inattentiveness on
Christiansen's part. For not we need to focus on getting you admitted and deal with
Christiansen after your admission. Please arrange a conference call with you, Tim and
me. Thanks. Bo

Bo,
Here is Christiansen's offices most recent email. I will also forward
emails from the state bar's director of admissions.
\
Zach,
1. I will attempt to mail you another copy of your file.
Please
confirm you mailing address to me in an e-mail. We have tried to mail
your file to you on two occasions the last of which was October
2003 to
the address you provided of 631 Humboldt Frt, Reno, NV 89509.
Our mail
was returned. As to your request for "complete" copy of your file, we
always send complete copies of files upon the request of a client.
2. There is no itemization for the services rendered to you.
Mr.
Christiansen charged you a flat fee to handle your hearings with the
State Bar which fee was paid by your father. Mr. Christiansen continued
to monitor your case as a courtesy and no such itemized records were
3. On September 10, 2003, after my conversation with Ms.
Eichman's
assistant, I set forth in my e-mail to you the specific procedure for
which to have your admittance to the Stat Bar reconsidered. You were to
prepare a letter of intent and forward it to our office. No such letter
was ever received from you. The letter was due to the State bar on or

agreement in your file. I will send you any billing records I have
along with a copy of your file when you send me confirmation of your
billing address.

Dear Miss Huff,
I would like another copy of my file. Please send Mr. Barker one as
well.
and do not to send my file to storage. Also, I am requesting a complete
copy of my file (including all materials that your office has
recently submitted to the State Bar) and an itemization of the services
your office has rendered in regard to this matter.
This is the
second time I have made such a request for an itemized statement.
I would like a response to my request of last month that your office
indicate whether it ever submitted anything to further this matter along
to the State Bar or Supreme Court on or around the October 2003
expiration of the deferral order issued in December of 2002. My records
3/11/2012 6:36 AM
21 of 53
indicate that I made repeated requests that your office do so. If no

request was sent, please indicate what, if any actions your office took
to further this matter along between December of 2002 and the present.
Please don't forget the
itemized statement of the services you have rendered at this point.
Sincerely,
Zach Coughlin

To:
ZachSo there is no misunderstanding about what I offered, I offered to pay

an attorney to represent you before the Nevada Bar in connection with
your suspension or failure to be admitted (whatever is the proper term
for the present state of affairs) on the condition that you have
remained sober and free of drugs for at least the past two months and
that commit that you will continue to remain sober and free of drugs.
It is my intent that your commitment is to include but not be limited to
Oxycontin and that you will find ways other than medication to deal with
pain. I told you when we spoke this afternoon that I did not want you
to immediately make this commitment and that I wanted you to think about
it before making a decision. If you can commit to the above please
confirm it to me and we will work on getting you an attorney. In the
mean time, I urge you to do all you can to get contract work doing
briefing or whatever for a law firm. Work history and freedom from
drugs and alcohol are the best things you can do for yourself and to get
bar admission.
I continue to pull for you. You have a long and bright future ahead of
you.

ZachI did not understand that facts to be as you indicate. That is not to
say that my understanding was in any way attributable to anything you
said. Rather, my misunderstanding was based on my jumping to
conclusions. I want to 1) think things over a bit and 2) figure out a
way to satisfy myself that your medically prescribed use is not and will
not be abuse. Probably the best way for to me to do 2) is to talk to
you. Let's try to talk later today or this evening. Can you call me
this evening between 9 and 10? If not please try to call me on my cell
tomorrow between 1:00 and 2:30 pm. Thanks for filling me in. I am
sorry for my misunderstanding. Bo

Hi Bo,
Well, I didn't interpret your offer to include the medications that have
been prescribed by my pain management specialist. I don't consider
taking a small dose of a effective analgesic to be taking 'drugs' in the
negative sense. I don't know, but I have dealt with back pain for 10
years and I believe that much of my troubles in law school was related
to not having any effective analgesics and being forced to resort to
alcohol and pot.
