Heading: Bar Counsel's Recommendations

Text: Bar Counsel determined that Respondent's admitted actions constituted misconduct in this jurisdiction, in that he violated at least several of the D.C. Rules of Professional Conduct, including Rule 8.4(d) (conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice), Rule 3.4(c) (knowingly disobeying an obligation under the rules of a tribunal), and Rule 8.4(b) (criminal act that reflected on the honesty of an attorney). Bar Counsel also concluded that none of the other Rule 11, § 11(c) exceptions apply, and, accordingly, recommended the imposition of reciprocal discipline. Specifically, Bar Counsel recommended that Respondent be suspended for at least one year, with reinstatement conditioned on proof of fitness to practice in this jurisdiction, and that he be placed on supervised probation for two years following his reinstatement.
