The Board of Professional Conduct recommends two attorney sanctions and advises against the reinstatement of a suspended lawyer.

The Ohio Board of Professional Conduct has filed three disciplinary case reports with the Supreme Court of Ohio.

Two reports recommend sanctioning attorneys charged with professional misconduct and another advises against the reinstatement of a suspended lawyer.

The parties will have an opportunity to file objections to the board’s reports and recommendations with the Supreme Court. If a party files objections, the Court will schedule the case for oral argument.
