The finding stems from a complaint from one of his clients, Bobbi Cain - a US citizen who retained Mr. Rodriguez in January 2020 - at a price of $3,000 dollars - to represent her in a lawsuit against a contractor. For more than 3 years, she kept asking for an update on her case and a refund, but Rodriguez told her that he could not find the contractor. In November 2023, she gave him the contractor's address. Still, her case was not filed until March 2024. She said Rodriguez dragged his feet in filing the civil suit in the High Court and that he refused to refund monies paid to him.

The GLC accepted Cain's evidence as true and concluded saltily, quote: "The Council finds it incredulous that an attorney would take more than 48 months to file a claim....Rodriquez's protracted delays are inexplicable, inexcusable and deplorable and must be condemned in the strongest terms as being unprofessional."end quote.
