Ohio Supreme Court

Disciplinary Counsel v. Juhola

December 23, 20252025 Ohio 5663

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the Board of Professional Conduct’s findings of misconduct and imposed a two‑year suspension with the first 18 months stayed, conditioned on no further misconduct, and ordered a one‑year period of monitored probation focused on guardianship funds. The Court explained that the sanction was warranted by the aggravating factors and the need to deter similar unauthorized transfers, despite the Board’s recommendation of a six‑month suspension.
