Attorney Maisha Wilson-Campbell faced a complaint by Annette Sterling relating to a property transfer. She admitted culpability from the outset. The Disciplinary Committee found professional misconduct, professional negligence, and conduct bringing the profession into disrepute, but made no express finding of dishonesty. Considering mitigating factors (admission, no financial profit, clean record, familial relationship) and limited aggravating features, the Panel declined to strike her off and imposed a 14-month suspension effective August 30, 2024, required completion of four CLPD ethics credits, and ordered costs of $350,000 to the complainant and $100,000 to the GLC.

Duties found breached:

• Uphold public trust in the profession
• No baseless or threatened misconduct report

Aggravating factors:

• No evidence she profited financially from the enterprise
• No previous infractions; attorney of 7 years standing
• Civil action remains available to the complainant
• Matter involved familial relations affecting diligence
