Description

The Commission for Lawyer Discipline ("Commission") brought this disciplinary action against Mary O. Curtis ("Curtis"), alleging violations of multiple provisions of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct. Following a non-jury trial, the trial court suspended Curtis from the practice of law for one year, six months active and six months probated. On appeal to this Court, Curtis assigns ten interrelated issues for appellate review. She contends that (1) the trial court's judgment is not supported by clear and convincing evidence, (2) the trial court failed to specifically find that she acted in bad faith, (3) the attorney fees she charged were reasonable, (4) she did not practice under a misleading name by identifying herself with a name of a lawyer who was not a member of her firm or that she communicated such misleading name to clients, (5) she did not engage in any misconduct, (6) the sanctions imposed against her were improper and an abuse of discretion, (7) the Commission breached its duty to her to provide protection from abuses of power in the disciplinary process, and (8) her trial counsel breached his fiduciary to her. We affirm.
