AT
TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
P
ER CURIAM
Th e Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commence d an investigation
into allegations that respondent mismanaged her client trust account and shared fees
with a non-lawyer. 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
Jessica L. Mullaly , Louisiana Bar Roll number 26674, be suspended from the
practice of law for a period of one year and one day. All but ninety days of this
suspension shall be deferred, followed by a one-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.
