In re Miller

Summary

The court held that Miller violated the confidentiality rule by knowingly mentioning a client's name in the context of controlled buys, but that the evidence did not clearly and convincingly establish a concurrent conflict of interest or dishonest conduct. The court deferred to the hearing panel's factual and credibility determinations, rejected the panel's characterization of Miller's mental state as negligent, and imposed published censure. The court also upheld the panel's finding that Miller demonstrated remorse.
