The Arizona Presiding Disciplinary Judge accepted the imposition of an admonishment 

The Agreement sets forth the factual background for the ethical violations, which is not repeated herein. Generally speaking, while representing a client in a civil matter, Ms. Cowan failed to act diligently at times or follow applicable rules in seeking to withdraw from the representation. Ms. Cowan also revealed information relating to the representation of her client in the motions to withdraw.

Agreed language

Although the presumptive sanction for each violation is an admonition, the ABA Standards “do not account for multiple charges of misconduct.” But for the substantial mitigating factors, a harsher sanction might well be warranted. The negotiated agreement, though, appears adequate to protect the public and deter Ms. Cowan and other attorneys from engaging in similar misconduct in the future. The record supports the following language included in the parties’ Agreement:

Respondent’s misconduct centered around her inelegant effort to withdraw from representation of a demanding client while her firm was breaking up and while suffering through physical complications of a risky pregnancy. Under other circumstances the aggravating factors would warrant a more severe sanction, but under the actual circumstances the parties conditionally agree that the presumptive sanction is appropriate.
