prescribe, the attorney's immediate temporary
suspension or may impose other conditions upon the
attorney's practice.
In addition, SCR 102(4)(b) provides that we may place restrictions on an
attorney's handling of funds.
We conclude that the documentation before us demonstrates
that Shreve poses a substantial threat of serious harm to the public, and
that his immediate temporary suspension is warranted under SCR
102(4)(a). Accordingly, we hereby order attorney Don Shreve, Jr.,
temporarily suspended from the practice of law pending the resolution of
formal disciplinary proceedings against him . 2
We further conclude that Shreve's handling of funds should be
restricted. Accordingly, pursuant to SCR 102(4)(a), (b), and (c), we impose
upon Shreve the following conditions:
1. Shreve is precluded from accepting new cases and is
precluded from continuing to represent existing clients, effective
immediately upon service of this order;
2. All proceeds from Shreve's practice of law and all fees and
other funds received from or on behalf of his clients shall, from the date of
service of this order, be deposited into a trust account from which no
withdrawals may be made by Shreve except upon written approval of bar
counsel; and
2 Wenote that Shreve is currently suspended in Nevada for failure to
comply with CLE requirements and with SCR 78.5. The suspension in the
instant matter is separate from and in addition to Shreve's existing
suspension.
