In Re Ivy

Summary

The court upheld the factual findings that Ivy knowingly made false statements but held that Rules 3.3 and 3.4 apply only when an attorney acts as an advocate representing a client, not when acting in a personal capacity. It upheld the disciplinary process and attorney-fee award, while remanding for reconsideration of the appropriate sanction in light of the narrower rule violations. No separate opinions were filed.
