Description

The Review Department of the State Bar Court recommended, with two members dissenting, that petitioner Victor R. Lawhorn be disbarred from the practice of law for mishandling client funds. Although petitioner was charged with and found to have committed four violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct, all arose from the same transaction between petitioner (a relatively inexperienced attorney) and his client. In these circumstances, and taking into account mitigating factors in the case, we conclude that disbarment would be excessive discipline and that petitioner should instead be placed on probation for five years with a two-year term of actual suspension.
