In Re Complaint as to the Conduct of Jackson

In this lawyer discipline case, the Bar charged the accused with neglect of a legal matter, conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice, knowingly making a false statement of fact to a tribunal, and conduct involving dishonesty that reflects adversely on the lawyer’s fitness to practice law. The accused’s primary defense is factual; he contends that the Bar failed to prove that he neglected his client and made misrepresentations to the court. On de novo review, we find that the Bar proved the charged violations by clear and convincing evidence, and we suspend the accused for 120 days.
