Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel v. Miller

Summary

The court found clear and convincing evidence that Miller violated multiple professional-conduct rules involving misuse of an IOLTA account, failure to respond to disciplinary demands, lack of diligence, delay, prejudice to the administration of justice, inadequate client disclosures, and unauthorized practice during an appellate suspension. It rejected her racial-discrimination and retaliation defenses because they were conclusory, improperly sought affirmative relief, and failed on the evidence. The court imposed concurrent suspensions, including a maximum concurrent term of one year, with additional reinstatement conditions; the judgment was affirmed.
