RE: EDMOND H. KNOLL
________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________
We previously accepted a petition for consent discipline and suspended respondent from the
practice of law for one year and one day, fully deferred, subject to a period of probation to coincide
with the term of his recovery agreement with the Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program (“JLAP”).
In re: Knoll , 22 -0107 (La. 3/15/22), 333 So. 3d 1238. Our order provided that “[a]ny failure of
respondent to comply with the terms of the agreement may be grounds for making the deferred
suspension executory, or imposing additional discipline, as appropriate.”
Respondent has now advised JLAP and the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) that he
will no longer participate in JLAP monitoring, and for that reason wishes to permanently resign from
the practice of law in lieu of discipline. The ODC has concurred in respondent’s petition.
Having considered the Petition for Permanent Resignation from the Practice of Law filed by
Edmond H. Knoll, Louisiana Bar Roll number 29046, and the concurrence thereto filed by the ODC,
IT IS ORDERED that the request of Edmond H. Knoll for permanent resignation in lieu of
discipline be and is hereby granted, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 20.1 and Rule 5.5 of the
Rules of Professional Conduct.
IT IS FUR THER ORDERED that Edmond H. Knoll shall be permanently prohibited from
practicing law in Louisiana or in any other jurisdiction in which he is admitted to the practice of law;
shall be permanently prohibited from seeking readmission to the practice of law in this state or in any
other jurisdiction in which he is admitted; and shall be permanently prohibited from seeking admission
to the practice of law in any jurisdiction.
