| That his act involved a private dealing with Ong did not matter. His being a lawyer invested him whether he was acting as such or in a non-professional capacity with the obligation to exhibit good faith, fairness and candor in his relationship with others. There is no question that a lawyer could be disciplined not only for a malpractice in his profession, but also for any misconduct committed outside of his professional capacity.[19] His being a lawyer demanded that he conduct himself as a person of the highest moral and professional integrity and probity in his dealings with others.[20] | |||||
