Office of Disciplinary Counsel v. Soucek
37 Ohio St. 3d 42; 523 N.E.2d 513; 1988 Ohio LEXIS 136
Office of Disciplinary Counsel v. Soucek
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting. The facts in this case indicate that respondent participated in — indeed, he was the driving force behind — a $200,000 illegal drug deal. Therefore, I believe that permanent disbarment would be a more appropriate sanction.
Opinion of the Court
This court finds that respondent violated the Disciplinary Rules indicated by the board. However, we find the sanction recommended was not appropriate when compared to the misconduct committed. Accordingly, respondent is hereby ordered indefinitely suspended from the practice of law in Ohio. Costs taxed to respondent.
Judgment accordingly.
