Respondent's conduct was in violation of MCR 9.1 04(A)(1 )-(5) and (7); MCR 9.113(A) and (B)(2); MCR 9.119(A); MCR 9.11 9(E)(1) and (3); and Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1(c); 1.2(a); 1.3; 1.4(b); 1.16(d); 5.2(a); 8.1(a)(2); and 8.4(a}-(c}.
The hearing panel ordered that respondent's license to practice law in Michigan be revoked and assessed costs in the amount of $1 ,986.22.
