Alcohol-Related Accidents Lead To Suspension

An attorney who was involved in two alcohol-related traffic accidents is the subject of a proposed suspension of a year and a day, retroactive to the date of her interim suspension, pursuant to the recommendation of the Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board. The first accident took place in the parking lot of the Office of the Attorney General, where the lawyer had previously been employed. She promptly self-reported to the Chief Disciplinary Counsel and enrolled in a rehabilitation program. Unfortunately, after the treatment, she was involved in a second accident at the Belle of Baton Rouge Casino. (Mike Frisch)
