IN RE: REINSTATEMENT OF Randolph H. GOLDBERG (2018)

ORDER OF REINSTATEMENT

This is an automatic review of a Southern Nevada Disciplinary Board hearing panel's recommendation to grant suspended attorney Randolph H. Goldberg's petition for reinstatement.¹ Goldberg was suspended from the practice of law for four years and nine months starting on April 25, 2013. He was also required to complete 12 CLE credits in office management and 3 additional CLE credits in ethics, pay a $5,000 fine, pay the costs of the disciplinary proceeding, and, upon reinstatement, have a mentor with a least 10 years of general practice experience for two years. Goldberg's suspension term has expired and the panel has recommended he be reinstated to the practice of law in Nevada subject to certain conditions.

Based on our de novo review, we agree with the panel's conclusion that Goldberg has satisfied his burden in seeking reinstatement by clear and convincing evidence. See SCR 116(2); Application of Wright, 75 Nev. 111, 112-13, 335 P.3d 609, 610 (1959) (reviewing a petition for reinstatement de novo). We therefore approve the panel's recommendation that the petition be granted and Goldberg be reinstated subject to certain conditions.

Accordingly, Randolph H. Goldberg is hereby reinstated to the practice of law in Nevada on the following conditions: Goldberg shall (1) complete 20 hours of pro bono service monthly for five years; (2) provide quarterly reports to the State Bar; (3) continue counseling by either seeing a stress management counselor or a psychotherapist once per month for two years, with the treating professional providing quarterly reports to the State Bar; (4) have a mentor with at least 10 years' experience in general practice, who is not also his business partner, for two years; and (5) pay the costs of the reinstatement proceeding, including $2,500 under SCR 120, within 30 days of this order.

It is so ORDERED.

I dissent at this time.
