, punishment or suspension may follow a felony conviction, but not merely a criminal charge. The rules do allow for an “emergency suspension,” but only in extreme cases.
“Once an emergency suspension is ordered, the lawyer cannot take on any new cases, and must stop representing existing clients after 30 days. The Bar also can seek an order of interim probation or interim placement on the inactive list in order to protect the public.”Simmons’ arrest last Friday. He is accused of urging the wife of his client to lie in an official court proceeding to protect his client. The woman was his client’s co-defendant in a 2021 murder case.
“Simmons never officially ‘signed in’ to see [her] for any of these jail visits,” the warrant says. “Instead, Simmons would sign in to see another client and while in the jail, Simmons would go to [her] floor to meet with her.” According to the warrant, Simmons “advised [her] to never tell Lufrano he was meeting with her or about their plans to provide false testimony in the case.”
