In Re: John Julius Steger, IV

Summary

The Supreme Court of Louisiana suspended attorney John Julius Steger, IV for eighteen months, deferring all but six months, and placed him on five‑year unsupervised probation tied to his JLAP recovery agreement. The Court held that multiple DWI offenses require an actual period of suspension, rejecting a fully deferred term, and applied the manifest‑error standard to the hearing committee’s factual findings.
