More On DUI Sanctions

From the web page of the Virginia State Bar:

On September 26, 2008, the Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board suspended [an attorney’s] license to practice law for eighteen months based on a conviction in the City of Richmond Circuit Court of driving under the influence – third offense. The suspension is effective retroactive to April 24, 2008 –  the date that his license was summarily suspended by the board pending a disciplinary hearing.

As we have previously noted, the sanctions for this form of criminal conduct vary widely from state to state. (Mike Frisch)
