In the Matter of Charles M. Dalziel, Jr

Summary

The Court imposed a six-month suspension on Dalziel for twice intentionally and unnecessarily disclosing confidential client information in violation of Rule 1.6(a). It declined to resolve whether his separate frivolous lawsuit violated Rule 3.1(a) and (b) because those potential violations would not affect the sanction. The suspension will run consecutively to his existing suspension and will not begin until he satisfies the prior mental-competence reinstatement condition; reinstatement from the new suspension also requires certification by a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist.
