Bar action welcome

Sat., June 25, 2011

Hooray for Randy Honkala in having the courage to file a grievance with the Washington Bar Association, leading to the disbarment of “prominent” attorney Russell Van Camp (“Court disbars Van Camp,” June 17).

Other former clients of Van Camp who have lost large sums in retainer fees and have filed grievances with the WBA must be feeling some satisfaction in the court’s decision. It is too bad it took so long.
