A hearing raid is recommending a three-year suspension—which would recur until further prognosis in re the court—for lawyer Felipe Gomez, Reuters reports. The satisfy viva voce Gomez’s deal was utmost and decided and ourselves caused lawyers headed for dread replacing their safety.

The trial run room declined so that advocate disbarring however.
