863 P.2d 1164 (1993)

STATE ex rel. OKLAHOMA BAR ASSOCIATION, Complainant, v. Audrey CUMMINGS, Respondent.

Supreme Court of Oklahoma.

October 5, 1993.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Dan Murdock, Gen. Counsel, Oklahoma Bar Ass'n, Oklahoma City, for complainant.

M. Michael Arnett, Oklahoma City, for respondent.


OPALA, Justice.

In this disciplinary proceeding against a lawyer, the issues to be decided are: (1) Can an "attorney's retaining lien" be impressed on property which has been entrusted to a lawyer for a specific purpose? and (2) Is a one-year suspension with imposition of costs an excessive sanction for Respondent's breach of professional discipline? We answer both questions in the negative.
