Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel v. Miller

Summary

The court found clear and convincing evidence that the respondent violated multiple professional-conduct rules by misusing an IOLTA account, neglecting litigation responsibilities, failing to disclose limits on her appellate practice, and practicing law while suspended. It rejected her racial-discrimination and retaliation defenses because they stated unsupported legal conclusions and improperly sought affirmative relief rather than defeating the disciplinary claims. The court imposed concurrent suspensions totaling one year, subject to specified conditions, and the judgment was affirmed.
