N RE: MARC R. MICHAUD
AT
TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
P
ER CURIAM
Th e Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commence d an investigation
into allegations that respondent mishandled his client trust account. 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
Marc R. Michaud , Louisiana Bar Roll number 28962, be suspended from the
practice of law for six months. This suspension shall be deferred in its entirety,
subject to 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 conditi ons 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.
