IN RE: Bryan F. GILL, Jr.
ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
PER CURIAM
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel ("ODC") commenced an investigation into allegations that respondent commingled personal funds with client funds in his trust account and converted client and third-party funds. Prior to the filing of formal charges, respondent and the ODC submitted a joint petition for consent discipline. Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that Bryan F. Gill, Jr., Louisiana Bar Roll number 17600, be suspended from the practice of law for a period of eighteen months. It is further ordered that nine months of the suspension shall be deferred. Following completion of the active portion of the suspension, respondent shall successfully complete a two-year period of unsupervised probation governed by the conditions set forth in the petition for consent discipline. The probationary period shall commence from the date respondent and the ODC execute a formal probation plan. Any failure of respondent to comply with the conditions of probation, or any misconduct during the probationary period, may be grounds for making the deferred portion of the suspension executory, or imposing additional discipline, as appropriate.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all costs and expenses in the matter are assessed against respondent in accordance with Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 10.1, with legal interest to commence thirty days from the date of finality of this court's judgment until paid.
