Office of Disciplinary Counsel v. Soucek

Ohio Supreme Court
Office of Disciplinary Counsel v. Soucek, 37 Ohio St. 3d 42 (Ohio 1988)
523 N.E.2d 513; 1988 Ohio LEXIS 136
Brown, Douglas, Holmes, Locher, Moyer, Sweeney, Wright

Office of Disciplinary Counsel v. Soucek

Dissenting Opinion

Wright, J.,

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

Per Curiam.

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.

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