*72OPINION AND ORDER IMPOSING SANCTIONS

I. ISSUE

Suspension is generally appropriate when a lawyer causes injury by: (1) failing to act diligently; (2) improperly attempting to influence witness testimony; or (3) offering a false document in court proceedings. Respondent took fees from clients then failed to meaningfully communicate with or diligently represent them. Respondent also pressured a former client to recant a valid disciplinary complaint and offered a false document in these proceedings. Is suspension appropriate absent evidence of mitigating factors?
