The Virgin Islands Bar, by and through the Ethics and Grievance Committee (the "Bar"), filed two petitions with this Court for disciplinary action against respondent, Attorney Stephen A. Brosch("Brosch"). The two petitions allege that Brosch violated several rules of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct relating to his failure to communicate with clients and remit funds due to clients. In both petitions, the Bar recommends that we disbar Brosch. For the reasons which follow, we find that Brosch has violated some of the most important ethical duties an attorney owes to his clients and that the only appropriate sanction is disbarment.
