BURKE, Justice,
with whom COMPTON, Justice, joins, dissenting.
I dissent from today’s decision because I believe the record supports the hearing committee’s findings that Frost violated Disciplinary Rules 5-105(B), 5-104(A) and 4-101(B)(3) as set forth in counts II, III and IX, respectively, of the petition.1 Accordingly, I believe that the sanction imposed by this Court is inappropriate, given the severity of Frost’s violations.
After reviewing the record and considering the American Bar Association’s Standards For Imposing Lawyer’s Sanctions, I concur with the disciplinary board’s recommendation that Frost be suspended from the practice of law for a period of eight months and that he take and pass the MPRE before he is readmitted to practice law in Alaska. I would remand to the disciplinary board’s liaison member to determine the appropriate award of costs and attorney’s fees.

. I agree with the majority that the record does not support a finding that Frost violated DR 5-105(A).
