Richland County Bar Ass'n v. Gibson
Richland County Bar Ass'n v. Gibson
Opinion of the Court
Upon review of the record, we concur in the board’s findings of misconduct. However, we find respondent’s misconduct in the administration of this decedent’s estate deserving of a more severe sanction than the board recommended. Moreover, we agree with relator that three years is too long for this estate to wait for restitution from respondent, who apparently possesses assets from which he could satisfy the judgment against him. Therefore, we order that respondent be suspended from the practice of law in Ohio for a period of two years; however, we suspend imposition of the second year of this
Judgment accordingly.
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting. I respectfully dissent. I would order the sanction recommended by this court’s Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline. Because the majority does not do so, I dissent.
