The Disciplinary Commission has charged the respondent with committing a criminal act that reflects adversely on her honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects and with engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation, in violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct for Attorneys at Law.
All charges stem from the respondent's Wisconsin felony criminal convictions for theft.
Thereafter, pursuant to Ind. Admission and Discipline Rule 23, Section 11, this Court appointed a hearing officer to hear evidence. Final hearing was conducted without an appearance by the respondent. This matter now comes before us for final determination on the hearing officer's report. Where, as in this case, neither party exercises its option of challenging the report of the hearing officer, we adopt the findings contained therein.
