## Opinion text

Per Curiam.
“One of the fundamental tenets of the professional responsibility of a lawyer is that he should maintain a degree of personal and professional integrity that meets the highest standard. The integrity of the profession can be maintained only if the conduct of the individual attorney is above *209 reproach.***” Cleveland Bar Assn. v. Stein (1972), 29 Ohio St. 2d 77, 81 .

Judgment accordingly.
