In Re: Discipline of Hardeep Sull

Summary

The court held that Sull violated the safekeeping and termination-of-representation rules by depositing an advance flat fee into her operating account rather than a client trust account and by failing to timely account for and refund unearned fees. It reversed the disciplinary hearing panel's dismissal and imposed a reprimand, concluding that mitigating circumstances warranted a sanction below the suspension baseline.
