Probation Violation Draws Suspension

A 90-day suspension on consent has been imposed by a Michigan tri-county hearing panel

Respondent and the Grievance Administrator filed a Stipulation for Consent Order of Suspension With Condition, which was approved by the Attorney Grievance Commission and accepted by Tri-County Hearing Panel #18. The stipulation contained respondent’s admission that he was convicted of driving while visibly impaired, a misdemeanor, and of disorderly person, a misdemeanor, on July 28, 2022, in the matter People v John A. Janiszewski, 56A District Court, Case No. 22-0129-SM, and that he violated his probation by failing to report to his probation officer and testing positive for alcohol, contrary to the terms of his probation requiring him to report and abstain from alcohol. The stipulation also contained respondent’s no contest plea to the factual allegations in paragraphs 13-20 and 22 regarding a subsequent arrest for operating under the influence of intoxicating liquor, second offense, and the remaining grounds for discipline as set forth in the formal complaint.
