NOTICE OF SUSPENSION WITH CONDITIONS (By Consent)
Case No. 15-123-GA Notice Issued: July 22, 2016
Jermaine A. Wyrick, P 54352, Southfield, Michigan, by the Attorney Discipline Board Tri-County Hearing Panel #54.
1. Suspension - 30 Days 2. Effective July 22, 2016 The respondent and the Grievance Administrator filed a stipulation for a consent order of discipline, in accordance with MCR 9.115(F)(5}, which was approved by the Attorney Grievance Commission and accepted by the hearing panel. Based on respondent's no contest plea, the panel found that respondent held funds other than client or third person funds in an IOLT A, in violation of MRPC 1.15(a)(3); failed to hold property of his clients or third persons separate from his own and in an IOLT A, in violation of MRPC 1.15(d); deposited his own funds (i.e., earned fees) into the IOLT A in excess of the amount reasonably necessary to pay financial institution service charges or fees or to obtain a waiver of service charges or fees, in violation of MRPC 1.15(f); and, engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation, where such conduct reflects adversely on the lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer, in violation of MRPC 8.4(b). The panel also found that respondent violated MRPC 8.4(a) and MCR 9.104(2)-(4).
In accordance with the stipulation of the parties, the hearing panel ordered that respondent's license to practice law be suspended for 30 days and that he be subject to conditions relevant to the alleged misconduct. Costs were assessed in the amount of $1, 131.42. ~a~
