MOYER, C.J.

DR 6-101(A)(3) states that "A lawyer shall not * * * neglect a legal matter entrusted to him." This court has previously interpreted this rule to warrant sanction when an attorney neglects to file necessary legal papers for clients and answer clients' inquiries, fails to prosecute actions on a client's behalf, and mismanages probate proceedings and guardianships.
