Text: In December 1992, Dosch offered attorney Michael Walker a one-third partnership interest in his law firm for $75,000. Dosch knew the Internal Revenue Service was investigating him for taking monies in the Hoffas and Roman estates, but he concealed this information from Walker. In June 1993, Dosch assisted Walker in borrowing money from a bank to pay a note Walker had signed, payable to Dosch for purchase of the one-third partnership interest. While assisting Walker to obtain those funds, Dosch concealed his knowledge that the Disciplinary Board had served him with a petition alleging trust account violations and conduct involving dishonesty and fraud relating to the Hoffas estate. The panel found in these matters that Dosch had acted dishonestly in violation of the North Dakota Procedural Rules for Lawyer Disability and Discipline 1.2(A)(3).
