In the Matter of Disciplinary Proceedings Against Alan D. Eisenberg, Attorney at Law: Office of Lawyer Regulation…

Summary

The court adopted the referee's findings that Attorney Eisenberg committed multiple violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct, including dishonesty, failure to protect a former client's interests, disruption of a tribunal, offensive conduct, improper business dealings with a client, and misleading communications. Applying deferential review to factual findings and independent review to legal conclusions, the court upheld the misconduct determinations. It rejected both revocation and a public reprimand, instead imposing a one-year suspension because of the seriousness and persistent pattern of misconduct, while considering Eisenberg's age and other circumstances.
