Columbus Bar Ass'n v. Hartwell

Ohio Supreme Court
Columbus Bar Ass'n v. Hartwell, 35 Ohio St. 3d 258 (Ohio 1988)
520 N.E.2d 226; 1988 Ohio LEXIS 59
Brown, Douglas, Holmes, Locher, Moyer, Sweeney, Wright

Columbus Bar Ass'n v. Hartwell

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

This court finds that respondent violated the aforementioned Disciplinary Rules indicated by the board. Respondent’s conduct, particularly with respect to Count I, however, requires a more severe sanction than that recommended. Such conduct undermines the integrity of the judicial system. Accordingly, respondent is hereby suspended from the practice of law in Ohio for one year. Costs taxed to respondent.

Judgment accordingly.

Moyer, C.J., Sweeney, Locher, Holmes, Douglas, Wright and H. Brown, JJ., concur.
