The decision comes months after Massachusetts courts took action.
“The respondent, Steven D. DiLibero, is hereby suspended from the practice of law in this state for one year with six months and one day to be served, and the balance of the suspension stayed for a period of one year following the entry date of this order, effective immediately,” wrote the Rhode Island Supreme Court in a decision released on Monday.
“If respondent fails to comply with the contingencies mandated in the Decision and Suspension Order, specifically, taking and passing the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination and attending five hours of continuing legal education classes pre-approved by the Commonwealth’s Office of Bar Counsel, and his suspension in the Commonwealth is extended beyond six months and one day to serve or the stay of the balance of the one year suspension is removed, respondent shall advise Disciplinary Counsel immediately, who shall report this extended discipline to this Court for further proceedings,” the Court added.
