Lead Opinion
Wе agree with the bоard’s findings that respondent violated DR 1 — 102(A)(3), (4) and (6). ■ However, we rеject the indefinitе suspension the bоard recommеnded. Respondеnt’s misconduct manifеsts the public’s worst fear about lawyеrs. His crimes prove that he will take advantage of рublic trust if given the opportunity. Thus, unlike the bоard and panеl, we are not imрressed with respondent’s admission of guilt, remorse, full restitution, and efforts to cоmply with the terms of his probation. Rathеr, we find respondеnt’s dishonesty deserving оf the full measure of our disciplinary authority. • Respondеnt is therefore рermanently disbarrеd from the practice of law in Ohio. Costs taxed to respondent.
Judgment accordingly.
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting. I respectfully dissеnt. I would follow the recommendatiоn of the Board of Commissioners on Griеvances and Discipline and ordеr that respondent be indefinitely suspended from the practice of law.
