Akron Bar Association v. Brown.
[Cite as Akron Bar Assn. v. Brown (1984), 14 Ohio St. 3d 24.]
(D.D. No. 84-9
Decided November 7, 1984.)
Mr. Michael B. Hendler, Mr. Reese Taylor and Mr. George Miller, for relator.
Mr. Edward L. Gilbert, for respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The court has reviewed the evidence presented to the board. We concur in the board's finding that respondent violated DR 1-102(A)(4) and (6); DR 6-101(A)(3); DR 7-101(A)(3); and DR 9-102(B)(3) and (4) of the Code of Professional Responsibility.
The evidence amply demonstrates a continuing course of neglect by respondent of legal matters entrusted to him, repeated mishandling of his clients' funds, and evasion of his basic responsibilities as an attorney. It is therefore the judgment of this court that respondent be indefinitely suspended from the practice of law.
Judgment accordingly.
Celebrezze, C.J., Ford, Locher, Holmes, C. Brown and J. P. Celebrezze, JJ., concur.
