Respondent received a private reprimand for her misconduct despite an extensive record of discipline consisting of one informal admonition and four private reprimands. Two weighty factors in determining the discipline to impose was that Respondent’s misconduct did not prejudice her client and that Respondent no longer practices law in Pennsylvania, having relocated to another state. |
