This case involves a petition by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel requesting interim suspension of a lawyer's license to practice and appointment of another attorney to protect client interests under the South Carolina Rules of Lawyer Disciplinary Enforcement. The court granted the petition by ordering immediate suspension of the respondent's license until further order and appointing Natasha Hanna, Esquire, to assume control of client files, trust accounts, operating accounts, and related matters. The appointment authorizes Ms. Hanna to make necessary disbursements, receive mail, and take other actions required to safeguard clients, while serving as notice to banks and the postal service that the respondent may not access the accounts. The appointment is limited to a period of no longer than nine months unless extended.
