The Indiana Supreme Court has revoked an attorney’s probation and re-suspended the attorney without automatic reinstatement

This Court entered an order accepting Respondent’s resignation on January 10, 2013. Respondent petitioned for reinstatement in 2019 and, following an evidentiary hearing, this Court issued an order on January 8, 2021 conditionally reinstating Respondent subject to successful completion of at least two years of probation with monitoring by the Indiana Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program (“JLAP”). Respondent’s probation remains in effect.

On January 20, 2023, the Commission filed a verified motion to revoke Respondent’s probation, asserting that Respondent has materially violated the terms of her JLAP monitoring agreement in numerous respects. Further, Respondent has had multiple criminal cases initiated against her in recent months, none of which she reported to JLAP as required; one of these cases has resulted in a guilty plea and the others remain pending. Respondent has filed no response to the Commission’s motion despite having been granted an extension of time, and her failure to do so is deemed an admission of the Commission’s allegations. See Admis. Disc. R. 23(16)(c)(2).
