N RE: JUSTIN ALSTERBERG
AT
TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
P
ER CURIAM
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation
into allegations that respondent mishandled his client trust account and failed to
supervise a non-lawyer employee. Prior to the filing of formal charges, respondent
and the ODC submitted a joint petition for consent discipline in which respondent
admitted that his conduct violated Rule s 1.15(a)(f) and 5.3 of the Rules of
Professional Conduct. Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
Justin Alsterberg, Louisiana Bar Roll number 31015, be suspended from the practice
of law for a period of six months. This suspension shall be deferred in its entirety,
subject to respondent’s successful completion of a two-year period of probation
governed by the conditions set forth in the petition for consent discipline. The
probationary period shall commence from the date respondent and the ODC execute
a formal probation plan. Any failure of respondent to comply with the conditions of
probation, or any misconduct during the probationary period, may be grounds for
making the deferred suspension executory, or imposing additional discipline, as
appropriate.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all costs and expenses in the matter are
assessed against respondent in accordance with Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 10.1,

with legal interest to commence thirty days from the date of finali ty of this court’s
judgment until paid.
