Parties | In re Petition for DISCIPLINARY ACTION AGAINST Mitchell Alan ROBINSON, a Minnesota Attorney, Registration No. 0281359. |
Court | Minnesota Supreme Court |
The Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility filed a petition for disciplinary action alleging that respondent Mitchell Alan Robinson committed professional misconduct warranting public discipline—namely, failing to competently and diligently represent and communicate with a client in a criminal matter, see Minn. R. Prof. Conduct 1.1, 1.3, 1.4(a)(3) and 8.4(d) ; and failing to diligently represent and communicate with a client in an immigration matter, see Minn. R. Prof. Conduct 1.3, 1.4(a)(2), and 1.4(a)(3).
Respondent now waives his procedural rights under Rule 14, Rules on Lawyers Professional Responsibility (RLPR), withdraws his previously filed answer, and unconditionally admits the allegations in the petition. The parties jointly recommend that the appropriate discipline is a public reprimand and 2 years of unsupervised probation.
The court has independently reviewed the file and approves the recommended disposition.
1. Respondent Mitchell Alan Robinson is publicly reprimanded.
2. Respondent shall pay $900 in costs pursuant to Rule 24, RLPR.
3. Respondent is placed on probation for 2 years, subject to the following conditions:
