WIGGINS, Justice
(dissenting).
I respectfully dissent for the reasons stated in my dissent in Iowa Supreme Court Attorney Disciplinary Board v. Bie-ber, 824 N.W.2d 514, 530 (Iowa 2012) (Wiggins, J., dissenting). We have an obligation, as the regulatory body for our profession, to protect the public from dishonest attorneys. Dishonesty is a trait that disqualifies a person from the practice of law. An attorney who converts fees from his partners, when a dispute over the fees does not exist, is per se unfit to *531practice law. Thus, I have no hesitation in revoking Henrichsen’s license to practice law.
