Summary

The court approved the referee’s findings that Johnson violated trust-account rules and violated orders governing his emergency suspension and the appointment of a receiver. It rejected the Bar’s challenge to the finding that Johnson lacked intent to misappropriate client funds and upheld the referee’s mitigation and aggravation findings, but concluded that the combined misconduct warranted disbarment rather than the recommended suspensions. The court also awarded the Bar specified costs and made the disbarment effective immediately.
