SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
NO. 2024-B-1180
IN RE: MARC R. MICHAUD
ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
PER CURIAM
On November 6, 2024, we suspended respondent from the practice of law for
six months, fully deferred, subject to a two-year period of probation , based upon
allegations that he mishandled his client trust account. In re: Michaud, 24-1180 (La.
11/6/24), 395 So. 3d 865 . The terms of his probation included condition s that he
properly maintain his trust account and reconcile the account on at least a quarterly
basis.
Prior to the expiration of th e probationary period, the Office of Disciplinary
Counsel and respondent filed a joint motion seeking to extend respondent’s
probation for a period of six months . In support, the y assert the extension is
warranted to address issues uncovered during the prior trust account audits.
The requested extension is appropriate under the facts. Accordingly, we will
extend respondent’s probation for an additional six months, subject to all conditions
of probation imposed by our November 6, 2024 order and by the December 2, 2024
probation agreement.
DECREE
Considering the Joint Motion to Extend Probation filed by respondent and the
ODC, it is ordered that the six-month period of probation imposed upon respondent
in In re: Michaud, 24-1180 (La. 11/6/24), 395 So. 3d 865 , be extended for a period
of six months. All conditions of probation imposed by our November 6, 2024 order

2

and by the December 2, 2024 probation agreement shall remain in full force and
effect during the extended probationary period. Any failure by respondent to comply
with these conditions or any other misconduct during the probationary period may
be grounds for revocation of probation and the imposition of the previously-deferred
suspension or other discipline, as appropriate.
