NOTICE OF REPRIMAND (By Consent)
Case No. 13-78-GA Notice Issued: September 24,2013
David Griem, P 23187, Detroit, Michigan, by the Attorney Discipline Board Tri-County Hearing Panel #23.
1. Reprimand 2. Effective September 20, 2013 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 plea of no contest, the hearing panel found that respondent issued a subpoena for certain cell phone records and a subpoena for the employment records of a third person at a time when he mistakenly believed that he could do so to further his investigation on behalf of his client, even though no criminal charges were then pending against his client. Respondent's conduct was in violation of MRPC 8.4(a) and MCR 9.104(1).
In accordance with the stipulation of the parties, the hearing panel ordered that respondent be reprimanded. Costs were assessed in the amount of $756.51.
