Brown, Douglas, Holmes, Koehler, Moyer, Resnick, Snick, Sweeney, Twelfth, Wright
Akron Bar Ass'n v. Parker
Opinion of the Court
We agree that respondent committed the misconduct found by the board. However, our review of the record and the arguments submitted by the parties convinces us that a lesser penalty is warranted by this case. Accordingly, respondent is hereby suspended from the practice of law in Ohio for a period of one year. Costs taxed to respondent.
Judgment accordingly.
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting. After a review of the record in this matter, I would not find misconduct as to Count One. I would, however, find misconduct as to Count Two. Based upon the respondent’s professional history, a public reprimand would be more appropriate.
