Date of Order: July 3, 2012
Pursuant to Section 17 of the Disciplinary Code for the Wyoming State Bar, Bar Counsel for the Wyoming State Bar filed, on June 11, 2012, a “Petition for Interim Suspension of Attorney.” The Court, after a careful review of the Petition for Interim Suspension, the “Affidavit of Bar Counsel in Support of Petition for Interim Suspension of Attorney,” and “Bar Counsel’s Supplemental Affidavit in Support of Petition for Interim Suspension of Attorney,” concludes that the petition for interim suspension should be granted and that Respondent should be suspended from the practice of law pending resolution of the formal charge that has been, or will be, filed against her. See Section 17(c) (“Within fifteen (15) days of the entry of an order of interim suspension, Bar Counsel shall file a formal charge.”) It is, therefore,
ADJUDGED AND ORDERED that, effective July 10, 2012, the Respondent, Mia Mikesell Shifrar, shall be, and hereby is, suspended from the practice of law, pending final resolution of the formal charge that has been, or will be, filed against her.
