Opinions

Per Curiam:

Respondent Stanley B. Crosby, an attorney, was found guilty by a majority of The Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline of professional misconduct in that he on two occasions solicited business in violation of Canon 28 of the Canons of Professional Ethics, Supreme Court Rule 33. There was dissent on The Board from this finding. A majority of The Board has recommended that respondent be indefinitely suspended from the practice of law because of such misconduct.

The record amply supports the findings of The Board that respondent was guilty of the charges against him and we adopt their recommendations in that regard.

However, we disagree with The Board’s recommendation that respondent be indefinitely suspended from the practice of law. In our opinion, a public reprimand is proper punish[327] ment under this record, and we modify the recommendations of The Board to this extent.

Stanley B. Crosby, therefore, stands publicly reprimanded by this Court and warned against the repetition of any similar conduct in the future.
