Toledo Bar Ass'n v. Galvin
Toledo Bar Ass'n v. Galvin
Opinion of the Court
The relationship between respondent and Abbey was not that of an attorney-client. As the board properly points out it was more of a business and personal relationship. In view of the fact that respondent’s conduct in no way involved any judicial proceedings and was outside an attorney-client relationship the court concurs with the board that the respondent did not violate DR 1-102(A)(5) or DR 9-102(B)(3).
This court further finds that respondent has violated DR 1-102(A)(3), (4) and (6).
Having found that respondent did violate DR 1-102(A)(3), (4) and (6), it is the judgment of this court that the respondent be indefinitely suspended from the practice of law.
Judgment accordingly.
DR 1-102 reads in part:
“(A) A lawyer shall not:
{<* * 4c
“(3) engage in illegal conduct involving moral turpitude.
“(4) engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation.
<<4c 4c 4<
“(6) engage in any other conduct that adversely reflects on his fitness to practice law.”
