An attorney who admitted misconduct in two counts was admonished by the Arizona Presiding Disciplinary Judge.

Count One involved a conflict of interest in a criminal matter.

Count Two

On December 9, 2015, Mr. Brown was charged with a misdemeanor following  an altercation involving his 84 year-old father in the lobby of an office building. The incident was recorded by a surveillance camera. The parties stipulate that Mr. Brown “grabbed his father’s hand causing him to fall to the ground, injuring his wrist and getting a cut above his eye.” Several months after this conduct was reviewed by the ADPCC, the City of Phoenix moved to dismiss the criminal case against Mr. Brown, which motion the court granted.

…The parties stipulate that Mr. Brown’s mental state was negligent when he caused his father to fall during an argument.
