In re Glover12/29/1998
7(a)(6) by violating the oath of her office.
"While this court may draw its own Conclusions and make its own findings, Burns v. Clayton, 237 S.C. 316, 117 S.E.2d 300 (1960), the unanimous findings and Conclusions of both the Panel and Executive Committee are entitled to much respect and consideration." In re Pride, 276 S.C. 363, 366, 278 S.E.2d 774 (1981). In mitigation, we consider, as the Panel did, that respondent has admitted all the allegations against her and has expressed great remorse. Respondent has also presented a significant amount of other evidence in mitigation. Respondent developed severe depression during the time the above instances of misconduct occurred. In the past, we have allowed evidence of depression to mitigate misconduct. See In re Weinberg, 317 S.C. 300, 454 S.E.2d 316 (1995). In further mitigation, during this time respondent became the sole caretaker and provided financial support for her mother who had developed Alzheimer's disease. See In re Holler, 329 S.C. 395, 496 S.E.2d 627 (1998)(fact the respondent was sole caretaker for mother was considered in mitigation).
Accordingly, it is ordered that respondent be indefinitely suspended, retroactive to July 30, 1997, from the practice of law in this State. Respondent shall file an affidavit with the Clerk of Court within fifteen days of the date of the filing of this opinion, in compliance with Paragraph 30 of Rule 413, SCACR.
INDEFINITE SUSPENSION.
