We adopt the findings and conclusions of the board. However, in view of respondent’s unblemished record and his lack of intent to harm Mehls, we find that a public reprimand is appropriate. Respondent is hereby publicly reprimanded. Costs taxed to respondent.

Judgment accordingly.

dissenting. I would follow the recommendation of the panel and the board and suspend the respondent for six months, with the entire six months stayed, provided respondent successfully participates in and completes a mentoring program established and monitored by the Lake County Bar Association.
