In Re: Reinstatement of Gary Segal ( 2015 )


Menu:
  •                              In its March 19, 2015, findings of fact, conclusions of law, and
    recommendation, the hearing panel found that Segal had met his burden
    for reinstatement. Thus, the panel recommended that Segal be reinstated
    subject to a three-year probation from the effective date of reinstatement
    subject to the following conditions: (1) double the CLE requirement for
    each calendar year; (2) no solo practice; (3) a mentor agreement, with
    quarterly reports and the mentor to be approved by the State Bar; (4) re-
    taking the MPRE; 1 (5) payment of the costs of the disciplinary
    proceedings, excluding staff salaries, offset by Segal's $1,000 advance
    deposit already paid; and (6) no additional discipline during the probation
    period for conduct occurring after reinstatement.
    Based on our de novo review, we agree with the panel's
    conclusion that Segal has met his burden for reinstatement with clear and
    convincing evidence.      See   SCR 116(2) (requiring an attorney to
    demonstrate "by clear and convincing evidence that he or she has the
    moral qualifications, competency, and learning in law required for
    admission to practice law in this state" and that the attorney's
    "resumption of the practice of law will not be detrimental to the integrity
    and standing of the bar, to the administration of justice, or to the public
    interest"); Application of Wright, 
    75 Nev. 111
    , 112-13, 
    335 P.2d 609
    , 610
    (1959) (reviewing a petition for reinstatement de novo). We therefore
    approve the panel's recommendation that the petition be granted subject
    to conditions. Accordingly, Gary M. Segal is hereby reinstated to the
    practice of law, subject to the conditions set forth above. Segal shall pay
    'While Segal has submitted to this court an MPRE score from March
    2015, Segal shall submit his MPRE score to the state bar so that the bar
    may verify that he has passed the MPRE.
