Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel v. Miller

Summary

The court affirmed a one-year suspension imposed after finding that the respondent attorney violated multiple professional-conduct rules involving client funds, diligence, client communication, and unauthorized practice. It held that denying the respondent's requests for articulation did not violate due process because the trial court's decision adequately stated the factual and legal bases for its judgment. The court also adopted the trial court's reasoning rejecting the misconduct and affirmative-defense claims.
