Disciplinary history: This report is not a final order of discipline. On June 15, 2026, an Ad Hoc Hearing Committee of the District of Columbia Board on Professional Responsibility issued a Report and Recommendation Approving Petition for Negotiated Disposition (Board Docket No. 25-ND-004 / Disciplinary Docket No. 2020-D072), headed “THIS REPORT IS NOT A FINAL ORDER OF DISCIPLINE”. Mr. Price (D.C. Bar No. 455264, admitted November 7, 1997) admitted violating D.C. Rule of Professional Conduct 1.15(a) (failure to maintain complete records of entrusted funds) as the firm’s managing partner and co-signatory on its TD Bank IOLTA trust account: the firm’s trust account was overdrawn on July 22, 2019 (balance negative $21,038.36 after a $150,000 refund check was honoured), the firm could not explain transfers or document entrusted funds, and the client (A.D.) was ultimately refunded in full ($50,000 on November 20, 2019 and $46,875 on December 23, 2019; only $3,125 earned). The Committee found the misappropriation was negligent, not intentional or reckless; no client complained; no aggravating circumstances; Mr. Price acknowledged the misconduct, cooperated, expressed remorse, and has no disciplinary history. The Committee recommends the D.C. Court of Appeals publicly censure Mr. Price and order him to complete the D.C. Bar’s ‘Managing Money’ course within six months of the Court’s final order. The report also notes other pending investigations involving allegations of misconduct against Mr. Price.
