Attorney Grievance Commission v. Alison5/19/1998
propriate, rude, vulgar, insulting, occasionally dangerous, and sometimes criminal."
317 Md. at 525, 565 A.2d at 660. Perhaps more relevant to the sanction in the instant case was the trial judge's findings in Respondent's prior disciplinary matter.
"It is clear that each person who became involved in this dispute was viewed by Alison as an enemy and became an object in what appears to have been a campaign of disrespect, abuse and intimidation.... Harassment was the order of the day."
Alison I, 317 Md. at 532, 565 A.2d at 664. We further noted that "it is more than a little disturbing to us that, even at this late date, respondent has little or no appreciation of the seriousness of his transgressions." Id. Respondent to this day has very little or no appreciation of the seriousness of his misconduct and has continued to engage in a pattern of harassing conduct. Such a pattern of behavior demonstrates Respondent's inability to conform his conduct within the bounds of the Maryland Lawyers' Rules of Professional Conduct. This Court cannot tolerate Respondent's behavior and his continued refusal to accept responsibility for his actions, especially in light of the fact that this Court previously imposed a ninety-day suspension for violations of Rules of Professional Conduct 4.4 and 8.4(d).
For the violations found in the McAnulty and Close cases, and in light of Respondent's previous suspension, we therefore conclude that the appropriate sanction to impose upon Respondent is an indefinite suspension from the practice of law. Respondent may reapply for admission after two years from the effective date of the suspension. This suspension shall begin thirty days from the filing of this opinion.
IT IS SO ORDERED; RESPONDENT SHALL PAY ALL COSTS AS TAXED BY THE CLERK OF THIS COURT, INCLUDING THE COSTS OF ALL TRANSCRIPTS, PURSUANT TO MARYLAND RULE 16-715c, FOR WHICH JUDGMENT IS ENTERED IN FAVOR OF THE ATTORNEY GRIEVANCE COMMISSION OF MARYLAND AGAINST STUART L. ALISON; SUSPENSION SHALL COMMENCE 30 DAYS FROM THE FILING OF THIS OPINION.
