Respondent's conduct was in violation of MCR 9.1 04(A)(2)-(4) and (7); MCR 9.113(A) and (B); and Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1(b) and (c); 1.2(a); 1.3; 1.4(a); 1.16(d); 8.1 (a)(2); and 8.4(c).
The panel ordered that respondent's license to practice law in Michigan be suspended for 60 days with a condition relevant to the established misconduct. Cost were assessed in the amount of $1 ,981.28.
