The Mississippi Bar v. Candace L. Williamson

Summary

The court imposed reciprocal discipline based on Williamson's Tennessee sanctions, treating those sanctions as conclusive evidence of the underlying misconduct and limiting the Mississippi proceeding to the appropriate sanction. Finding no extraordinary circumstances warranting deviation, the court ordered a two-year suspension beginning with Williamson's Mississippi temporary suspension, suspended one year on probation, and imposed a public reprimand and costs. The court also reserved the ability to revisit her failure to self-report when she seeks reinstatement.
