In the Matter of Seth Bader, Esquire Case No. LD-2016-0022

(1) I am the respondent in the above-captioned matter. I have been a member of the New Hampshire Bar since 1992. I have been under suspension since 1997, due to felony charges unrelated to my legal practice. I was convicted of two such felonies in

1998. The Attorney Discipline Office has recently sought my disbarment, due solely to my felony convictions. (2) I have no doubt that the ADO can prove that my felony convictions exist. I cannot prove that my felony convictions do not exist, nor have I ever made such a claim. (3) I have come to believe that the ADO can obtain my disbarment due solely to my felony convictions, without having to prove any other fact. I have also come to believe that no fact which I can now prove and get admitted into evidence will prevent the ADO from obtaining my disbarment. (4) I have come to believe that it is to my advantage to resign from the Bar, rather than being disbarred. (5) I therefore seek to resign from the Bar, rather than being disbarred. I have made that decision voluntarily and under no duress. (6) I expect this affidavit to result in my resignation from the Bar.
