SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
NO. 2023-B-1103
IN RE: JULIE MICHAEL UDOESSIEN
ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
PER CURIAM
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation
into allegations that respondent was arrested for driving while intoxicated and
having an open alcoholic beverage container in her vehicle . Prior to 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
Julie Michael Udoessien, Louisiana Bar Roll number 38486, be and she hereby is
suspended from the practice of law for a period of one year and one day. It is further
ordered that this suspension shall be deferred in its entirety and that respondent shall
be placed on probation for a period of one year and one day, 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
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.
