Notice Issued: September 11, 2023
Bart P. O’Neill, P 63950, Harper Woods, Michigan, by the Attorney Discipline Board Tri-County Hearing Panel #13
Reprimand - Effective September 9, 2023
Respondent and the Grievance Administrator filed a Stipulation for Consent Order of Reprimand With Conditions, pursuant to MCR 9.115(F)(5), that was approved by the Attorney Grievance Commission and accepted by the hearing panel. The stipulation contained respondent's admissions that he was convicted, by guilty plea, on June 16, 2022, of Operating While Intoxicated, 2nd offense, a misdemeanor, in violation of MCL/PACC code 257.625(1), in People of the State of Michigan v Bart Paul O’Neill, 16th Circuit Court, Case No. 22-0030-FH, and that his conduct in that regard constitutes professional misconduct.[1]
Based on respondent’s conviction, admission and the parties’ stipulation, the panel found that respondent committed professional misconduct when he engaged in conduct that violated a criminal law of a state or of the United States, an ordinance, or tribal law pursuant to MCR 2.615, in violation of MRPC 8.4(b) and MCR 9.104(5).
In accordance with the stipulation of the parties, the hearing panel ordered that respondent be reprimanded with conditions relevant to the established misconduct. Total costs were assessed in the amount of $875.00.
[1] The Judgement of Sentence indicates respondent was convicted under MCL 257.6256B; however, that subsection relates to a conviction of someone under the age of 21. Respondent is over 21 years of age. The correct subsection for Operating While Intoxicated, 2nd Offense, is MCL 257.625(1).
