Professional Responsibility – dismissed
The court agreed with the referee’s conclusion that Attorney Johns’ conduct resulting in a 2004 felony conviction did not reflect adversely on his honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects so as to violate SCR 20:8.4(b). It disagreed with the referee’s conclusion that Attorney Johns violated SCR 21.15(5),] as enforced via SCR 20:8.4(f), by failing to notify the clerk of the supreme court and the OLR, in writing, of his conviction. We conclude that Attorney Johns’ violation of SCR 21.15(5) was too technical to justify the imposition of legal consequences. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed.
