NOTICE OF SUSPENSION WITH CONDITIONS Case No. 16-124-MZ (Ref. 16-39-AI; 16-45-JC) Notice Issued: February 27, 2017 Danielle R. Havenstein, P 69414, Grand Rapids, Michigan, by the Attorney Discipline Board Kent County Hearing Panel #2.
Suspension - 180 Days, Effective September 17, 2016. 1 The Grievance Administrator filed a motion for an order to show cause seeking additional discipline for respondent's failure to comply with the hearing panel's Order of 179-Day Suspension With Conditions (By Consent), issued August 26, 2016.
Based on the stipulation of the parties to the factual allegations contained in the petition and respondent's admissions, the panel finds that respondent failed to comply with the conditions of its order of August 26, 2016, which warrants the imposition of further discipline. Specifically, that respondent was non-compliant with the condition that she participate in a two-year Monitoring Agreement with the State Bar of Michigan's Lawyers and Judges Assistance Program.
The panel ordered that respondent be suspended from practice law for 180 days. The panel also ordered that respondent be subject to conditions that she complies with the terms of her remaining criminal sentence; remain abstinent from non-prescription controlled substances; not engage in any conduct that results in further discipline; and, upon petitioning for reinstatement, respondent shall provide, along with her petition, a substance abuse assessment (dated no more than 60 days prior to the date the petition is filed) which provides a diagnosis, prognosis and recommendation prepared by a therapist that maintains certification from the State of Michigan as an addictions counselor.
