State ex rel. Counsel for Dis. v. Miller

Summary

The Nebraska Supreme Court held that attorney Amy A. Miller’s abuse of the attorney‑client privilege warranted discipline and imposed a 90‑day suspension with a nine‑month probationary period, rejecting her request for a public reprimand. The court applied a de novo review of the referee’s recommendation, considering the nature of the offense, mitigating factors such as depression, and prior similar sanctions.
