The respondent failed to file a required answer to the verified petition within the time frame set forth in the notice of petition. By decision and order of this Court dated May 9, 2017, upon the respondent’s filing of a late answer, the Grievance Committee’s motion to deem the charges established based on the respondent’s default in filing an answer was denied. Upon the parties filing a joint stipulation of undisputed facts and a request for the appointment of a Special Referee to conduct a hearing, this Court, by decision and order on application dated July 20, 2017, appointed the Honorable Abraham G. Gerges, as Special Referee, to hear and report.

OPINION & ORDERPer Curium — The Grievance Committee for the Second, Eleventh, and Thirteenth Judicial Districts served the respondent with a verified petition dated September 27, 2016, containing eight charges of professional misconduct. After a prehearing conference on September 26, 2017, and a hearing on October 3, 2017, the Special Referee issued a report, which sustained all the charges. The Grievance Committee now moves to confirm the Special Referee’s report and to impose such discipline upon the respondent as the Court deems just and proper. The respondent supports the motion to con-firm, and asks that the Court impose a sanction no greater than a public censure.
