Head Matter:
Office of Disciplinary Counsel v. Carretta.
[Cite as Disciplinary Counsel v. Carretta (1995), 72 Ohio St.3d 42.]
(No. 94-1838
Submitted January 24, 1995
Decided April 19, 1995.)
Geoffrey Stem, Disciplinary Counsel, and Alvin E. Mathews, Assistant Disciplinary Counsel, for relator.
Carretta, Cornish & Brezine Co., L.P.A., and Donald F. Brezine, for respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
We agree that respondent violated DR 5-107(B), but we find the recommended sanction is not an adequate sanction for the nature of respondent's conduct. We consider relator's recommendation — a six-month suspension — the more appropriate response to this misconduct. Respondent is, therefore, suspended from the practice of law in Ohio for a period of six months. Costs taxed to respondent.
Judgment accordingly.
Moyer, C.J., Douglas, F.E. Sweeney, Pfeifer and Cook, JJ., concur.
Wright and Resnick, JJ., dissent.
