Opinion
March 19, 1999
PRESENT: PINE, J. P., HAYES, WISNER, HURLBUTT AND SCUDDER, JJ.
Order of censure entered.
Respondent was admitted to the practice of law by this Court on September 10, 1976, and formerly maintained an office in Williamsville. The Grievance Committee filed a petition charging respondent with three counts of professional misconduct.
Respondent has admitted the material allegations of the petition.
In mitigation, we note respondent's prior unblemished record and that no client suffered a financial loss as a result of respondent's misconduct. Accordingly, we conclude that respondent should be censured.
