Disposition Censure
Effective Date of Disposition 11/26/2002
End Date of Disposition Not Applicable. Censures and reprimands do not affect the authority of the lawyer to continue to practice law.
Definition of Disposition A censure reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct, but that the violation is not so serious to warrant a sanction that would affect the lawyer’s authority to continue to practice law. As a result, censure does not affect the authority of a lawyer to continue to practice law.
Case Summary Mr. Piper, who was licensed in 1974, was censured. He failed to timely file employer’s tax returns or remit withholding taxes that he deducted from his secretary’s paychecks for the years 1994 through 1998.
