A 180 day suspension imposed by a Tri-county hearing panel of the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission was imposed based on a stipulation

The stipulation contained respondent’s admissions that  he was convicted of Unlawful Dissemination of Image, a misdemeanor, in violation of Virginia Crime Code OBS-3688-MI, in the matter titled People v Steven Anthony Jansen, Prince William County District Court Case No. JA08433-8-06-00; and on October 30, 2018, respondent was convicted of Driving While Intoxicated,  first offense, a misdemeanor, in violation of Virginia Crime Code DWI-5413- MI, in the matter titled People v Steven Anthony Jansen, Alexandria General District Court Case No. 510GM18000004876, as set forth in the notice of filing of a judgment of conviction filed by the Administrator.

Additionally, the stipulation contained respondent’s plea of no contest to the factual allegations and allegations of professional misconduct as set forth in the eight count formal complaint filed in combination with the notice, in its entirety. To wit: in seven separate incidences, respondent was criminally charged with public intoxication, public drunkenness, disorderly person, breaking and entering (while he was intoxicated), and assault and battery of a family member (while he was intoxicated); the County of Prince William Department of Social Services found that, as a result of respondent’s public drunkenness while at a hotel and restaurant with his children, respondent’s actions did or may have resulted in harm to his children and he was ordered to remain on the Child Abuse Central Registry for three years starting December 19, 2017 (Count One); the charges were dismissed either after a probationary period, fines and costs were paid or community service was performed (Counts One, Three, Four, Five, Six and Seven); and, only the charges, as related in Counts Two and Eight of the formal complaint, resulted in any determination or conviction against respondent.
