In Re: Reinstatement of Gary Segal

In its March 19, 2015, findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendation, the hearing panel found that Segal had met his burden for reinstatement. Thus, the panel recommended that Segal be reinstated subject to a three-year probation from the effective date of reinstatement subject to the following conditions: (1) double the CLE requirement for each calendar year; (2) no solo practice; (3) a mentor agreement, with quarterly reports and the mentor to be approved by the State Bar; (4) re- taking the MPRE; 1 (5) payment of the costs of the disciplinary proceedings, excluding staff salaries, offset by Segal's $1,000 advance deposit already paid; and (6) no additional discipline during the probation period for conduct occurring after reinstatement. Based on our de novo review, we agree with the panel's conclusion that Segal has met his burden for reinstatement with clear and convincing evidence. See SCR 116(2) (requiring an attorney to demonstrate "by clear and convincing evidence that he or she has the moral qualifications, competency, and learning in law required for admission to practice law in this state" and that the attorney's "resumption of the practice of law will not be detrimental to the integrity and standing of the bar, to the administration of justice, or to the public interest"); Application of Wright, 75 Nev. 111, 112-13, 335 P.2d 609, 610 (1959) (reviewing a petition for reinstatement de novo). We therefore approve the panel's recommendation that the petition be granted subject to conditions. Accordingly, Gary M. Segal is hereby reinstated to the practice of law, subject to the conditions set forth above. Segal shall pay

'While Segal has submitted to this court an MPRE score from March 2015, Segal shall submit his MPRE score to the state bar so that the bar may verify that he has passed the MPRE.
