Cuyahoga County Bar Association v. Lawrence12/24/2003
tion for misappropriation of client funds." Lorain Cty. Bar Assn. v. Fernandez, 99 Ohio St.3d 426, 2003-Ohio-4078, 793 N.E.2d 434, 9. But as the board found, the record failed to establish that respondent misappropriated client funds. Instead, respondent's " ` eglect of legal matters and a failure to cooperate in the ensuing disciplinary investigation * * * warrant an indefinite suspension from the practice of law in Ohio.' " Cleveland Bar Assn. v. Judge (2002), 94 Ohio St.3d 331, 332, 763 N.E.2d 114, quoting Akron Bar Assn. v. Snyder (1999), 87 Ohio St.3d 211, 212, 718 N.E.2d 1271; cf. Disciplinary Counsel v. Papcke (2000), 88 Ohio St.3d 161, 724 N.E.2d 407 (attorney convicted of forgery indefinitely suspended from practice of law).
. Accordingly, we hereby indefinitely suspend respondent from the practice of law in Ohio. Costs are taxed to respondent. Judgment accordingly.
