Peter S. Tangalos, P 52969, Birmingham, Michigan, by the Attorney Discipline Board Tri-County Hearing Panel #81.
1. Suspension - 60 Days 2. Effective August 12, 2015 Respondent appeared at the hearings and filed an answer to the formal complaint. The hearing panel found that respondent failed to promptly payor deliver any funds that a client or third person was entitled to receive due to insufficient funds in respondent's IOLT A, in violation of MRPC 1.15(b)(3); and, failed to hold client and third party funds in connection with a representation separate from the lawyer's funds, in violation of MRPC 1.15(d).
The hearing panel ordered that respondent's license to practice law in Michigan be suspended for 60 days. The Grievance Administrator filed a petition for review, seeking an increase in discipline, and this matter will be scheduled for hearing before the Attorney Discipline Board.
