Heading: The clear and convincing evidence supports the attorney's readmittance to the practice of law in Oklahoma.

Text: ¶ 11 Mumina asserts that he has presented evidence sufficient to satisfy all factors considered in a reinstatement proceeding. The Bar Association's position differs. It asserts that the attorney has failed to present clear and convincing evidence of factors necessary to allow his return to the practice of law in Oklahoma. [24] Specifically, the Bar Association argues that: 1) Mumina failed to present stronger proof of his present moral fitness to practice law than would a first-time applicant for admission; 2) a lack of information exists evincing the attorney's consciousness of his wrongful conduct, the disrepute his actions brought upon the legal profession, and Mumina's rehabilitation; and 3) the severity of the attorney's misconduct both in relation to having mishandled his firm's funds and in having been imprisoned for his actions as a trustee in bankruptcy are sufficient, in and of themselves, to deny reinstatement. We determine that the trial panel's recommendation for reinstatement is meritorious and disagree with the position taken by the Bar Association.
