I
N RE: MONIQUE H. FIELDS
AT
TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
P
ER CURIAM
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation
into allegations that respondent mishandled her client trust account. Respondent and
the ODC then submitted a joint petition for consent discipline. Having reviewed the
petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
Monique H. Fields , Louisiana Bar Roll number 29183 , be and she hereby is
suspended from the practice of law for a period of one year. All but thirty days of
this suspension shall be deferred, followed by 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 portion of the
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.
