concurring in part and dissenting in part.
Considering all the circumstances, I would order a three-year suspension here, *1167especially considering that the respondent has remained under suspension for a “six month” suspension imposed in May of 1998. Obviously, disbarment should be reserved for the most egregious ethical violations, and while respondent’s misconduct here is extremely serious I do not believe it merits the ultimate sanction of disbarment.
LEWIS, J., concurs.
