Professional Responsibility — suspension
Where attorney Michael J. Briggs engaged in multiple misconduct offenses, intentionally failed to comply with disciplinary rules and orders, and made misrepresentations to the OLR during the course of its investigations, a 90-day suspension is appropriate.
“After our independent review of the matter, we approve the stipulation and determine that the seriousness of Attorney Briggs’s misconduct warrants a 90-day suspension of his license to practice law. Attorney Briggs’s admitted acts are serious violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct governing lawyers in this state. We deem a 90-day suspension sufficient to protect the public from Attorney Briggs’s unacceptable professional behavior, to ensure that he will not repeat it, and to deter others from engaging in similar misconduct.”
Per Curiam.
Attorneys: For Complainant: Krohn, Robert G., Edgerton; Weigel, William J., Madison; For Respondent: Briggs, Michael J., Oregon
