Second Time No Charm

An attorney convicted of a second alcohol-related driving offense has received a stayed 90-day suspension from the Indiana Supreme Court. The attorney is subject to a probationary period of 24 months.

The first offense took place after the attorney had passed the 1998 bar exam but prior to admission. He reported the offense to the admitting authorities. The second offense (which led to this sanction) occurred in January 2011.

The attorney is now in the bar treatment program. This was an agreed disposition of the charges. (Mike Frisch)
