Harvey Tessler Respondent

ALBERT L. RENDLEN, JUDGE This disciplinary proceeding was instituted by the Bar Committee of the Twenty-first Judicial Circuit, which, on formal hearing, found probable cause to believe respondent was guilty of professional misconduct. The Committee then filed its information charging violation of Missouri Supreme Court Rule 4, Disciplinary Rules 1-102(A)(5) and (6), 6-101(A)(3), 7-101(A)(1), (2), and (3), and 9-102(C)(4). 1 Appointed by the Court as Special Master, the Honorable Robert H. Dierker, Jr. made findings of fact and recommended that respondent be suspended from the practice of law for one year and that his readmission to practice be conditioned upon refunding $750 to his client, Willard Hasselbring. Though not bound by the Master's findings and cognizant that we may ultimately determine the facts, In re Vails, 768 S.W.2d 78, 79 (Mo. banc 1989), we agree in most part with the findings and recommendations.
