OPINION OF THE COURT

(June 28, 2013)

2Per curiam

This case is back before the Court after we remanded the matter to the Ethics and Grievance Committee of the Virgin Islands Bar Association (“EGC”) so that it may recommend and sufficiently justify a new sanction for the numerous ethical violations committed by B. Patricia Welcome, Esq. For the reasons that follow, we grant the EGC’s petition, as modified.
