N RE: PHILLIP J. LaFLEUR
AT
TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
P
ER CURIAM
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation
into allegations that respondent mismanaged his client trust account. Following the
filing of formal charges, respondent and the ODC submitted a joint petition for
consent discipline. Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
Phillip J. LaFleur , Louisiana Bar Roll number 28376, be and hereby is suspended
from the practice of law for a period of one year and one day. This suspension shall
be deferred in its entirety, subject to respondent’s successful completion of a two-
year period of supervised probation governed by the conditions set forth in the
Petition for Consent Discipline. The probationary period shall commence from the
date respondent, the probation monitor, 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 finality of this court’s
judgment until paid.
