TAYLOR, J.,
concurring in part, dissenting in part.
While I agree with some of the concerns expressed in the majority opinion, I must dissent to the discipline imposed. I find no indication that the Respondent or his counsel ever vigorously objected to any of the delay or the process in this case. The delay was not an issue raised by either party to these proceedings at any time. The delay is not a mitigating factor. This lawyer has committed extremely grievous acts of dishonesty and has violated the public trust. The Professional Responsibility Tribunal recommended that the Respondent be suspended for two years and a day. That discipline is clearly and certainly warranted in this case and should be imposed.
