Oral Argument
3/13/2001
Highlight
An attorney is appropriately suspended from the practice of law for 120 days when the hearing panel has found clear and convincing evidence of professional conduct violations involving lack of diligence, communication, and expediting litigation, as well as a disciplinary history of five prior disciplinary sanctions.
Prior discipline is not remote, but is relevant as an aggravating factor when the prior incidents establish a pattern of misconduct.
Disciplinary counsel may reasonably bill attorney fees at $75 per hour, which may be assessed against the attorney whose misconduct warranted the imposition of discipline.
