JUDGMENT OF REINSTATEMENT
This matter came before the Court on a Petition for Reinstatement pursuant to S.J.C. Rule 4:01, § 18, and the Vote of the Board of Bar Overseers recommending that the Petition for Reinstatement be allowed subject to certain conditions.
Whereupon, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the petitioner is hereby reinstated as a member of the bar of the Commonwealth subject to the following conditions:
(1) The petitioner shall continue his regular therapy sessions with Robert Marek (at their established interval of once every two (2) months) for one (1) year from the date of reinstatement to ensure that the petitioner is receiving support during his initial return to practice; that Mr. Marek report to the Office of Bar Counsel at least twice in that year that the petitioner is continuing his regular therapy sessions; and that Mr. Marek notify the Office of Bar Counsel if the petitioner discontinues their therapy sessions within one (1) year of his reinstatement;
(2) The petitioner shall enter into a mentoring agreement with Attorney John Pavlos, subject to bar counsel’s prior approval; the petitioner and the mentoring attorney shall meet as often as the mentor deems necessary but not less than once per month during the first six (6) months and thereafter once every two (2) months for two (2) years; the mentoring attorney shall make quarterly reports to the Office of Bar Counsel as to the petitioner’s legal practice;
(3) The petitioner shall contact Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers (“LCL”) within one (1) month of the date of reinstatement and participate in a support group recommended by LCL, on a regular basis as recommended by LCL (e.g. once (1) per week), for at least one (1) year after reinstatement; and
(4) If the petitioner opens his own law practice within two (2) years of the date of reinstatement, as opposed to continuing to work for Attorney Zajac, the petitioner shall make his practice available for an audit by Law Office Management Assistance Program (“LOMAP”) within six (6) months of opening his practice and shall implement any recommendations of LOMAP.
By the Court, (Gaziano, J.)
