{¶ 1} Respondent, William T. Zaffiro Jr. of Lyndhurst, Ohio, Attorney Registration No. 0077479, was admitted to the practice of law in Ohio in 2004. The Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline now recommends that we publicly reprimand respondent for failing to inform a client that he did not carry malpractice insurance, failing to cooperate in a disciplinary investigation, and making a false statement of material fact during a disciplinary investigation. We agree that respondent engaged in this misconduct and that a public reprimand is an appropriate sanction.
