Opinion
No. MR 20589.
January 2006.
Summary of Misconduct:
Mr. Romanski, who was licensed in 1973, was suspended for three years.

He also attempted to have a special assessment debt imposed against him by the association extinguished by his inclusion of endorsement restrictions on his monthly assessment checks. During litigation brought by the association, he made false statements to the court in connection with his attempt to disqualify the presiding judge. The suspension is effective on February 3, 2006.
Order of the Court:

Respondent is suspended from the practice of law for three years, as recommended by the Review Board.
Suspension effective February 3, 2006.
Respondent Henry Joseph Romanski shall reimburse the Disciplinary Fund for any Client Protection payments arising from his conduct prior to the termination of the period of suspension.
