ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
PER CURIAM
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commence d an investigation
into allegations that respondent mishandled his client trust account. Prior to the

Frank G. DeSalvo, Louisiana Bar Roll number 4898, 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

to comply with the conditions 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 t his court’s
