Description
Submitted October 12, 2004 {1} Respondent, Christian Dean Rothermel of Hamilton, Ohio, Attorney Registration No. 0043140, was admitted to the practice of law in Ohio in 1977. On December 31, 1984, we suspended respondent from practice for one year for professional misconduct involving conversion of client trust funds, failure to disburse funds held on a client's behalf, and failure to maintain the identity of client funds in a trust account. Disciplinary Counsel v. Rothermel (1984), 15 Ohio St.3d 121, 15 OBR 272, 472 N.E.2d 1072. Respondent did not immediately apply for readmission to the bar at the end of his one-year suspension but was eventually reinstated. Disciplinary Counsel v. Rothermel (1999), 86 Ohio St.3d 1215, 716 N.E.2d 712. {2} On October 6, 2003, relator, Cincinnati Bar Association, charged that respondent had again violated the Code of Professional Responsibility. A panel of the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline heard the cause and, based on the parties' comprehensive stipulations and other evidence, made findings of misconduct and a recommendation, all of which the board adopted.
