In Re Petition for Reinstatement of Larry Severson, a Minnesota Attorney, Registration No. 0099363

Summary

The court independently reviewed the record and held that the reinstatement panel's finding that Severson had undergone the requisite moral change was not clearly erroneous. Severson proved by clear and convincing evidence that he satisfied the requirements for reinstatement, including remorse, acceptance of responsibility, changed conduct and state of mind, and renewed commitment to ethical practice. The court granted reinstatement subject to a two-year probation with specified conditions.
