Disciplinary Counsel v. Taylor

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the Board of Professional Conduct’s findings of misconduct and imposed an 18‑month suspension on Ronald Coleman Taylor Jr., staying six months on the condition that he commits no further misconduct and satisfies reinstatement requirements. The Court reasoned that Taylor’s premeditated threats, multiple offenses, and failure to attend his disciplinary hearing warranted a longer actual suspension than the Board’s recommended stay.
