Board Report and Orders (November 27, 2023)

Summary: In re Mehak Naveed. Bar No. 1032942. November 27, 2023. The Board on Professional Responsibility recommended that the D.C. Court of Appeals suspend Naveed for six months with fitness for violations of Rules 3.3(a)(1), 3.4(a), 3.4(c), 8.1(a), 8.1(b), 8.4(c), and 8.4(d), stemming from Disciplinary Counsel’s investigation of Naveed’s trust account overdraft. For more than 30 months, Naveed delayed in providing basic information during the investigation and provided knowingly false excuses for her delays. When faced with contempt proceedings in D.C. Superior Court, Naveed repeatedly lied to the judge over the course of seven hearings. After Disciplinary Counsel filed charges, her pattern of misconduct continued before the Hearing Committee by failing to meet deadlines, failing to timely appear at the hearing, and giving intentionally false testimony.
