Wayne Cty. Bar Assn. v. Naumoff, 95-2179
| Decision Date | 28 February 1996 |
| Docket Number | No. 95-2179,95-2179 |
| Citation | 660 N.E.2d 1177,74 Ohio St.3d 637 |
| Parties | WAYNE COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION v. NAUMOFF. |
| Court | Ohio Supreme Court |
Robert N. Gluck, Wooster, and G. Kenneth Barnard, for relator.
Timothy J. Truby, Akron, for respondent.
After reviewing the record, we adopt the board's findings and conclusions. However, we note that we publicly reprimanded respondent on October 16, 1991, for charging an excessive fee. We, therefore, impose an actual suspension of six months on respondent and tax costs to him.
Judgment accordingly.
I would adopt the penalty as recommended by the board. Because the majority does not do so, I respectfully dissent.
RESNICK, J., concurs in the foregoing dissenting opinion.
