Facts
Matter I
In July 2009, Complainant A retained respondent to pursue a divorce and custody matter against his wife. Complainant A paid the costs of the action and paid respondent $200.00 a month toward the $1,500.00 fee. The fee was fully paid in early 2010.
In May 2010, respondent filed a Summons and Complaint and served the documents on the wife. Complainant A’s name was misspelled on most of the documents filed with the Court. Respondent admits she did not correct the misspelling.
A hearing was scheduled for July 27, 2010, but was delayed so that the wife could attend. The hearing was then held on July 29, 2010. Respondent prepared a settlement agreement at Complainant A’s direction. Pursuant to the agreement, *51Complainant A was to receive sole custody of his two children. The Agreement was initialed and signed by both parties and notarized on July 29, 2010. The Agreement was filed with the Court on July 30, 2010.
An Order and Decree of Divorce, prepared by respondent, was not filed until November 1, 2010. Respondent admits she was not diligent in preparing the order. In the order, respondent wrote “[u]nder the terms of the Agreement, Plaintiff and Defendant will share joint custody of the children ...” This was contrary to the Agreement itself which clearly stated Complainant A was to receive sole custody of the children. Respondent represents she has now corrected the order to reflect that Complainant A has custody of the children with reasonable visitation by the children’s mother.
In early 2011, Complainant A attempted to obtain a hard copy of the Order and Decree of Divorce from respondent. Respondent did not return Complainant A’s calls and never mailed a hard copy of the Order to Complainant A. Respondent admits she did not respond to Complainant A’s calls and did not send him a hard copy of the Order even though he had requested the Order on several occasions. Respondent represents she had previously emailed Complainant A a copy of the final Order.
