Case No. 13-41-GA Notice Issued: May 24, 2013
Robert P. Walsh, P 42833, Battle Creek, Michigan, by the Attorney Discipline Board Calhoun County Hearing Panel #1.
1. Reprimand 2. Effective May 21,2013 The respondent and the Grievance Administrator filed a first amended 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 panel found that respondent held funds other than client or third person funds
in an IOL TA account, in violation of MRPC 1.15(a)(3); deposited his own funds into an amount more than reasonably necessary to pay financial institution service charges or fees, in violation of MRPC 1.15(f); and violated or attempted to violate the Rules of Professional Conduct, contrary to MRPC 8.4(a).
In accordance with the stipulation of the parties, the hearing panel ordered that respondent be reprimanded and that he be subject to a condition relevant to the alleged misconduct. Costs were assessed in the amount of $756.51.
