On Oct. 20, 2005, Tekenari A. Wariboko, 44, of Houston, received a 66-month, partially probated suspension effective Dec. 1, 2005, with the first six months actively served and the remainder probated. An evidentiary panel of the District 4-A Grievance
Committee found that in June 2002, Wariboko settled the complainant's personal injury claim. Thereafter, Wariboko converted funds belonging to the complainant and his medical providers to his own use.

During the next two years, Wariboko paid out in increments some monies owed to the complainant. The complainant requested an accounting from Wariboko, but Wariboko failed and refused to completely account to the
complainant for all the monies to which he was entitled, and failed to pay the complainant's medical providers upon receipt of the settlement proceeds. Wariboko
refused to comply with document requests from the Office of the Chief Disciplinary Counsel.

Wariboko violated Rules 1.03(a),1.14(a), (b), and (c), 8.01(b), and 8.04(a)(1). He was ordered to pay $1,400.59 in restitution and $5,180 in attorney's fees.
On Nov. 3, 2005, an evidentiary panel of the District 4-D Grievance Committee found that in March 2003, Wariboko sent a letter of protection to the complainant to assure payment for medical treatment to Wariboko's client. Wariboko settled the case in July 2004. He converted funds, which should have been paid to the complainant, to his own use.

After the settlement, Wariboko's trust account frequently fell below the amount necessary to pay the complainant's bill. Wariboko ignored a certified letter from the complainant and failed to pay until approximately two months after Wariboko was served with the complainant's grievance.

Wariboko violated Rules 1.14(a) and (c). He was ordered to pay $2,255 in attorney's fees and ordered to complete five additional hours of continuing legal education in the area of law office management and to provide an audit of his trust account along with quarterly reports regarding his trust account
