In Re Terri Y. Lea,

Before KRAMER, FISHER, and THOMPSON, Associate Judges.

In a Report and Recommendation dated February 4, 2010, the Board on Professional Responsibility (the “Board”), having determined that the findings of a Hearing Committee were supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole, found that respondent Terri Y. Lea violated D.C. Bar Rule XI, § 2 (b)(3) (failure to comply with Board order), as well as the following District of Columbia Rules of Professional Conduct: Rule 5.5 (a) (unauthorized practice of law); Rule 7.1 (making a false or misleading communication about the lawyer or her services); Rule 7.5 (using a letterhead or other professional designation that violates Rule 7.1); 8.1 (b) (failing to respond to Bar Counsel’s lawful demand for information); Rule 8.4 (c) (conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation); and Rule 8.4 (d) (conduct that seriously interferes with the administration of justice). The Board recommends that this court suspend respondent for 180 days “in addition and consecutive to the period of suspension” that we imposed in In re Lea (Lea I), 969 A.2d 881 (D.C. 2009). We adopt the Board’s recommendation.
