in Re: Discipline of Marina Kolias

Opinion

We conclude that the documentation before us demonstrates that Kolias poses a substantial threat of serious harm to the public, and that her immediate temporary suspension is warranted under SCR 102(4)(a). Accordingly, we hereby order attorney Marina E. Kolias temporarily suspended from the practice of law pending the resolution of formal disciplinary proceedings against her.

We further conclude that Kolias's handling of funds should be restricted. Accordingly, pursuant to SCR 102(4)(a), (b), and (c), we impose upon Kolias the following conditions: 1. Kolias is precluded from accepting new cases and is precluded from continuing to represent existing clients, effective immediately upon service of this order; 2. All proceeds from Kolias's practice of law and all fees and other funds received from or on behalf of her clients shall, from the date of service of this order, be deposited into a trust account from which no withdrawals may be made by Kolias except upon written approval of bar counsel; and 3. Kolias is prohibited from withdrawing any funds from any and all accounts in any way relating to her law practice, including but not limited to her general and trust accounts, except upon written approval of bar counsel.

SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA (0) 1947A •" • The state bar shall immediately serve Kolias with a copy of this order. Such service may be accomplished by personal service, certified mail, delivery to a person of suitable age at Kolias's place of employment or residence, or by publication.' Kolias shall comply with the provisions of SCR 115.

It is so ORDERED.
