| Citation | 535 N.E.2d 298,41 Ohio St.3d 11 |
| Parties | DAYTON BAR ASSOCIATION v. SAMS. D. 88-23. |
| Court | Ohio Supreme Court |
Jablinski, Folino, Roberts, Schultz & Martin and Ronald E. Schultz, Dayton, for relator.
John H. Rion, Dayton, for respondent.
We concur with the board's findings and its recommendation. Accordingly, respondent is hereby suspended from the practice of law in Ohio for six months. Costs taxed to respondent.
Judgment accordingly.
Respondent's gross violations of DR 1-102(A)(3) and DR 1-102(A)(6) were too serious to merit the sanction invoked by the majority. I would suspend respondent at a minimum for an eighteen-month period, and I would consider a period of probation thereafter.
RESNICK, J., concurs in the foregoing dissenting opinion.
