Following a prehearing conference held on September 25, 2019, and a hearing conducted on November 26, 2019, the Special Referee filed a report dated January 2, 2020, in which she sustained all five 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. In an affirmation in response, the respondent’s counsel states that the respondent joins in the motion to confirm the Special Referee’s report, and requests, in view of the mitigating circumstances presented, that the Court impose a private admonition or a sanction no greater than a public censure.

As of October 1, 2016, the respondent was required to maintain no less than $208,238.59 in the IOLA account, comprised of funds entrusted to him in connection with the following 15 client matters:
