In the Disciplinary Matter Involving Eugene B. Cyrus, Respondent

Summary

The court independently reviewed the disciplinary record and imposed the Disciplinary Board's recommended sanctions: a five-year suspension with two years stayed, followed by three years of probation with specified conditions. It held that Cyrus's repeated, knowing neglect and inability to manage his caseload justified the lengthy suspension and that supervised pro bono practice during the final year was insufficient to protect clients, courts, and the profession. The suspension was applied retroactively to the date of Cyrus's interim suspension.
