Questiоns 1 thrоugh 3 аre bаsed оn the following fаct pattern:Billie Jean King hired attorney F. Lee Bailey to represent her with regard to a potential medical malpractice action against her doctor, Julius Erving. Erving performed hip replacement surgery on Ms. King, but the surgery did not go well. Ms. King needed several follow-up surgeries, but she continues to have serious difficulties, can barely walk, and had to discontinue her very lucrative tennis career. Mr. Bailey reviewed the medical records and told her he would be filing suit within three months, as he found evidence that Dr. Erving and the medical staff did not follow standard medical procedures during and after the surgery. Ms. King did not hear from Mr. Bailey for eight months, so she finally called him. He then told her he had filed her case and was waiting for the doctor's insurance carrier to respond. He apologized for not getting back to her sooner. King did not hear anything further for another six months. When they spoke, Bailey was curt with her and told her that her case was moving along. He said "sometimes these things drag on forever". After two years, hearing nothing from Bailey despite several phone messages to his office, Ms. King hired another attorney. The new attorney found out that the case was never filed and the statute of limitations had run.When questioned by the Bar after a complaint was filed by Ms. King, Mr. Bailey admitted that he lied to Ms. King about filing the case because he was embarrassed and had other cases he prioritized. He then informed his legal malpractice insurance carrier about his malfeasance and apologized to Ms. King.Which of the following statements regarding Mr. Bailey's situation is true ?
