## Opinion text

SULLIVAN, Justice,
concurring and dissenting.
I concur in the Court’s opinion except as to sanction. I agree that respondent’s career and contributions to the profession are weighty mitigating circumstances. I nevertheless believe a period of suspension is warranted. While I would find a public reprimand sufficient sanction for any of the violations standing alone, I believe it is insufficient for the combination of violations committed here. I do concur with the Court’s directing the respondent to refund the excess of the fee with interest and to reimburse the clients for the attorneys fees they incurred to prod him to complete the project.
