Heading: Unauthorized practice of law while suspended

Text: Fagre-Stroetz failed to pay her attorney registration fee when it was due April 1, 2004, automatically resulting in suspension. [4] On September 7, 2004, Fagre-Stroetz appeared on behalf of a client for a hearing in Ramsey County before Referee William H. Muske, Jr., who informed her that she was fee suspended and could not appear. [5] The matter was continued to allow the client to obtain new counsel. The director reports that Fagre-Stroetz has neither paid her fee nor responded to the director's request for an affidavit concerning her practice of law since she was fee suspended. The director maintains that Fagre-Stroetz's practice of law while fee suspended constitutes a violation of the rule prohibiting the unauthorized practice of law. [6]
