Joint petition for consent discipline accepted. See per curiam.
ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation into allegations that respondent improperly notarized three affidavits and signed her name to documents finalizing a clients settlement after the client passed away. Respondent and the ODC submitted a joint petition for consent discipline in which respondent admitted that her conduct violated Rules 3.3(a)(1), 3.3(a)(3), 8.4(a), and 8.4(d) of the Rules of Professional Conduct. Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that Eve Sarco Reardon, Louisiana Bar Roll number 30710, be suspended from the practice of law for a period of one year and one day. All but six months of this suspension shall be deferred, followed by a one-year period of probation subject to 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 conditions of probation, or any misconduct during the probationary period, may be grounds for making the deferred portion of the 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 courts judgment until paid.
