N RE: JOHANNAH C. PIZZINI
AT
TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
P
ER CURIAM
Th e Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commence d an investigation
into allegations that respondent negligently included surgical estimates for another
client along with her settlement demand in a personal injury case without disclosing
this fact to the insurance company. 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
Hannah C. Pizzini, Louisiana Bar Roll number 39305, also known as Johannah C.
Pizzini, be suspended from the practice of law for a period of six months. All but
thirty days of this suspension shall be deferred, followed by a two -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.
