In re William Conrad Hanlon

On October 5, 2011 the Board of Disciplinary Appeals revoked the probation of  attorney William Conrad Hanlon, 48, State Bar of Texas Card No. 24011949 and suspended him from the practice of law for two years, beginning October 5, 2011 and ending October 5, 2013. On or about February 20, 2009 the District 5A02 State Bar of Texas grievance committee signed a three-year partially probated suspension against Hanlon. The default judgment found that Hanlon committed professional misconduct by violating the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct in six separate grievances and suspended him from the practice of law for three years with the last 24 months of the suspension, beginning April 1, 2010 and ending on March 31, 2012, probated on certain terms and conditions. The Board of Disciplinary Appeals found that Hanlon materially violated the terms and conditions of the default judgment of probated suspension, including, among other violations, failing to pay attorney’s fees, failing to pay restitution, failing to provide affidavits to the State Bar of Texas, failing to surrender his law license and bar card, failing to remain current on MCLE, and by failing to return papers and other property Hanlon did not answer or appear.
