In re Pepper
Supreme Court of Louisiana
1Dissent
h KNOLL, Justice,
dissenting.
I believe the six-month suspension with all but one month deferred imposed by the majority in the case sub judice is unduly lenient in light of the egregious facts of this case. This court has frequently imposed lengthy suspensions in cases involving multiple instances of neglect of client matters, failure to communicate and failure to refund unearned fees. See, e.g., In re: Wharton, 03-1816 (La.10/17/03), 872 So.2d 459 (three-year suspension); In re: Bankston, 03-1082 (La.10/3/03), 856 So.2d 1187 (two-year suspension); In re: Szuba, 01-1877 (La.10/5/01), 797 So.2d…
