Supreme Court of Louisiana
In Re: Lionel Lon Burns
May 1, 2018249 So. 3d 811
Summary
The court independently reviewed the disciplinary record, upheld the findings that Burns assisted his paralegal in the unauthorized practice of law and violated the Rules of Professional Conduct, and imposed a one-year suspension. The court also ordered Burns to complete the next available Ethics School session and pay costs and interest. Hughes, J., dissenting, would have imposed a six-month suspension, while Genovese, J., dissenting, would have imposed a one-year-and-one-day suspension with probation and Ethics School.
