State ex rel. Oklahoma Bar Association v. Odom

Summary

The court imposed a three-year Oklahoma suspension concurrent with the respondent's Louisiana suspension after determining that the Louisiana disciplinary findings established misconduct sufficient for discipline in Oklahoma. It held that the respondent's use of trust funds for personal and business expenses constituted at least simple conversion under Oklahoma's classifications, while declining to impose discipline for a potentially higher level of misconduct absent additional findings or evidence. The respondent failed to rebut the prima facie effect of the Louisiana discipline or establish grounds for reducing the sanction.
