Matter of Jones

In the present cause, the Respondent, Bruce Jones, is charged with engaging in illegal conduct involving moral turpitude and engaging in conduct which adversely reflects on his fitness to practice law. Pursuant to Admission and Discipline Rule 28, this proceeding was initiated by the filing of a single-count complaint by the Disciplinary Commission; a Hearing Officer was appointed, conducted a hearing, and has tendered his findings. The Respondent now seeks review of the tendered findings and both parties have filed briefs in support of their respective positions.
