Description
The respondent in this attorney discipline case was charged with violating the Code of Professional Responsibility in two separate complaints. A hearing board consolidated the complaints and recommended that the respondent be suspended for one year and one day, but that he be given a credit of six months in order that he could begin reinstatement proceedings within six months of this court's order. A hearing panel of the Supreme Court Grievance Committee approved the board's recommendation with the added condition that the respondent demonstrate his mental and emotional fitness to practice law prior to reinstatement. We generally accept the findings and recommendation of the panel, but we modify the period of suspension. We order that the respondent be suspended for six months from the date of this opinion and order, that he prove by clear and convincing evidence that he has been rehabilitated in reinstatement proceedings pursuant to C.R.C.P. 241.22(b)-(d), that he demonstrate his mental and emotional fitness to practice law prior to reinstatement, and that he be assessed costs.
