- indicating that respondent was admonished for committing his first offense of domestic abuse assault against his wife and for resisting arrest while intoxicated
- holding no violation of rule 32:8.4(d) occurred because the domestic abuse did not occur within the context of respondent’s practice
- concluding the attorney’s domestic abuse with significant injuries and repeated violations of no-contact order demonstrated disrespect for the law reflecting adversely on his fitness to practice law
- holding Board failed to prove a violation of rule 32:8.4(d) because attorney’s repeated violations of a no-contact order “were based on personal conduct that was unrelated to the practice of law”
