Dayton Bar Ass'n v. O'Neal
Dayton Bar Ass'n v. O'Neal
Opinion of the Court
Having reviewed the record, we concur in the board’s findings that respondent violated DR 6 — 101(A)(2) and (3), and in its recommendation. Respondent is hereby suspended from the practice of law in Ohio for a period of six-months, but this sanction is suspended on the condition that he complete a two-year probation period and that, during this period, no complaints against him have been certified to the board by a probable cause panel. Costs taxed to respondent.
Judgment accordingly.
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting. Given the aggravating factors that O’Neal failed to carry professional liability insurance, filed a bankruptcy petition and plan under which little if any of Gordon’s judgment will be paid, and reacted in a dishonorable fashion when first confronted by relator regarding the complaints, I would impose suspension without a stay.
