LAKE COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION v. SMITH.

Per Curiam.

We adopt the findings and conclusions of the board. However, in view of respondent's unblemished record and his lack of intent to harm Mehls, we find that a public reprimand is appropriate. Respondent is hereby publicly reprimanded. Costs taxed to respondent.

Judgment accordingly.

DOUGLAS, RESNICK, F.E. SWEENEY, PFEIFER and LUNDBERG STRATTON, JJ., concur.

MOYER, C.J., and COOK, J., dissent.

COOK, J., dissenting.

I would follow the recommendation of the panel and the board and suspend the respondent for six months, with the entire six months stayed, provided respondent successfully participates in and completes a mentoring program established and monitored by the Lake County Bar Association.

MOYER, C.J., concurs in the foregoing dissenting opinion.
