SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
NO. 2024-B-0633
IN RE: GARRETT M. JOFFRION
ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
PER CURIAM
Respondent was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and
practiced law while ineligible to do so . Prior to the filing of formal charges,
respondent and the Office of Disciplinary Counsel submitted a joint petition for
consent discipline, in which the parties stipulated that respondent violated Rules
1.1(b), 1.1(c), 5.5(a), and 8.4(b) of the Rules of Professional Conduct. Having
reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
Garrett M . Joffrion, Louisiana Bar Roll number 34608, be suspended from the
practice of law for one year and one day, with all but thirty days deferred. Following
the active portion of the suspension, respondent shall be placed on probation for a
period to coincide with his Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program recovery
agreement. The probationary period shall be governed by the conditions set forth in
the Petition for Consent Discipline. 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.
