Description
1 The complainant, the Oklahoma Bar Association (Bar Association), alleged that the respondent, Frank Miskovsky, III (respondent), committed professional misconduct warranting disbarment. The trial panel found that the respondent had converted a clients funds and had misrepresented to the trial court and to opposing counsel the status of the funds violating Rule 1.4(b) of the Rules Governing Disciplinary Proceedings, 5 O.S. 1981 Ch. 1, App. 1-A and Rule 1.15 and Rule 8.4(c) Rules of Professional Conduct, 5 O.S.Supp. 1988 Ch. 1, App. 3-A. We find that the Bar Association established by clear and convincing evidence that the respondent converted funds which had been entrusted to him for a specific purpose, and that he knowingly misrepresented to the Court and opposing counsel the status of the funds which were subject to a lien. We also find that this is the third time that complaints concerning similar conduct have been before this Court and that such conduct warrants disbarment and the imposition of costs in the sum of $2,995.21.
