Petitioner filed a Petition for Reinstatement from Disability, indicating in the Questionnaire that he had had no arrest or conviction during the period he was on disability status. In fact, Respondent had a criminal conviction in Florida for DUI, to which he pled guilty. Two Petitions for Discipline were then filed, one for the criminal conviction, and the other for the intentional misrepresentation in the Reinstatement Petition. Petitioner/Respondent agreed to withdraw the Reinstatement Petition, and signed a Joint Petition for Discipline on Consent agreeing to a Suspension of one-year and one-day for the misrepresentation and the DUI conviction. |
