    Finding that prior discipline in 2003 resulting in a suspension was not too remote in time to be considered an aggravating factor in the instant case, where the prior misconduct was similar to the current charges

    In determining the appropriate sanction, we consider the discipline imposed in similar circumstances. See State ex rel. Counsel for Dis. v. Switzer, 280 Neb. 815, 790 N.W.2d 433 (2010). We have previously disbarred attorneys who neglected their client's cases, failed to respond to the Counsel for Discipline, and were previously disciplined for similar conduct.
