In Re: Mark Jeffrey Neal

Summary

The Supreme Court of Louisiana affirmed the disciplinary board’s recommendation, finding that attorney Mark Jeffrey Neal violated Rules 8.4(a) and 8.4(b) but not 8.4(c) of the Rules of Professional Conduct, and imposed a one‑year‑and‑one‑day suspension with six months deferred and a two‑year probation period. The court based its decision on clear and convincing evidence of intentional violent conduct and applied the ABA’s standards for lawyer sanctions.
