| Rule Violation(s) |
RPC: 1.1; 1.3; 1.4(a)(3); 1.4(a)(4); 1.15(a); 1.15(b); 8.1(a); 8.4(b); and 8.4(c) |
| Discipline Imposed |
Suspension for five years |
| Points of Law |
1. “The fact that Respondent took advantage” of beneficiary’s imprisoned status, which prevented the beneficiary from acting without the assistance of others, “is certainly an aggravating factor.”
2. Respondent’s positive contribution to the community “means the difference between disbarment and” a five year suspension.
