N RE: HENRY B. KING, JR.
AT
TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
P
ER CURIAM
Respondent mishandled his client trust account, resulting in the commingling
and conversion of funds, and failed to properly withdraw from a representation.
Prior to the filing of formal charges, respondent and the Office of Disciplinary
Counsel (“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
Henry B. King, Jr., Louisiana Bar Roll number 8426, be and he hereby is suspended
from the practice of law for a period of one year and one day, with all but ninety
days deferred. Following the active portion of the suspension, respondent shall be
placed on supervised probation for two years, subject to 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
portion of the suspension e xecutory, 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.
