SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
NO. 2021-B-0990
IN RE: TODD MICHAEL TYSON
ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
PER CURIAM
Respondent neglected a legal matter, failed to communicate with a client,
failed to return the client’s file upon request, and failed to refund an unearned fee .
He subsequently failed to cooperate with the Office of Disciplinary Counsel
(“ODC”) in its investigation. 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
Todd Michael Tyson , Louisiana Bar Roll number 35407, be suspended from the
practice of law for one year and one day, with all but sixty days deferred. It is further
ordered that, prior to being reinstated to the practice of law, respondent shall submit
to an appropriate evaluation by th e Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program and
comply with any recommendations for treatment and/or the execution of a
monitoring agreement. Following the active portion of the suspension, respondent
shall be placed on probation for a period of two years, subject to 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
portion of the suspension executory, or imposing additi onal discipline, as
appropriate.
