Richard Neil Belcher was granted the privilege of practicing law in the State of Arkansas by this Court on August 24, 1983. Subsequently, Mr. Belcher was admitted to the Oregon State Bar where he actively engaged in the practice of law until September 1994.

In October 1998, the Arkansas Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct learned that the Oregon State Bar previously had caused severe lawyer disciplinary sanctions to be imposed on Mr. Belcher. In 1993, the Oregon State Bar suspended Mr. Belcher from the practice of law for forty-five days for violation of that jurisdiction's rules governing professional conduct of lawyers. He was found to have engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation; conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice; and willful deceit or misconduct in the profession.
