NOTICE OF REVOCATION AND RESTITUTION Case No. 10-44-GA Notice Issued: August 24,2010
Tian Li, P 58834, Canton, Michigan, by the Attorney Discipline Board Tri-County Hearing Panel #16.
1 . Revocation 2. Effective August 21 , 20101 The respondent did not appear at the public hearing, and was found to be in default for his failure to file an answer to the formal complaint. Based on that default, the panel found that respondent, in two matters, practiced law while suspended; and in one of those matters, failed to notify his client in writing of his suspension and neglected his client's legal matter. Additionally, the panel found that respondent failed to answer three requests for investigation served upon him by the Grievance Administrator.
Respondent's conduct was found to be in violation of MCR 9.1 04(A)(1 )-(4), (7) and (9); MCR 9.113(A) and (B)(2); MCR 9.119(A) and (E); and Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (c); 1.2(a); 5.5(a); 8.1 (a)(2); and 8.4(a)-(c)
The panel ordered that respondent's license to practice law in Michigan be revoked and that he pay restitution to two complainants. Costs were assessed in the amount of $1 ,746.40.
Dated: AUG 2 ~ 2010
1 Respondent has been continuously suspended from the practice of law in Michigan since April 11, 2009. Please see Final Notice of Suspension issued June 3, 2009.
