Attorneys at law — Misconduct — Public reprimand — Failure to obtain written opinion from medical expert with respect to sufficiency of medical malpractice claim while informing clients that expert indicated they did not have a claim.

Per Curiam.

Upon a careful review of the record, we agree with the board's findings and recommendation. Respondent is therefore publicly reprimanded for having violated DR 1-102(A)(4) and 7-102(A)(5). Costs taxed to respondent.

Judgment accordingly.

SWEENEY, DOUGLAS, H. BROWN and RESNICK, JJ., concur.

MOYER, C.J., HOLMES and WRIGHT, JJ., dissent.

WRIGHT, J., dissenting.

I would order a sanction of a six-month suspension against respondent.

MOYER, C.J., and HOLMES, J., concur in the foregoing dissenting opinion.
