Julie A. Introcaso (2021)

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

ORDER LD-2021-0001, In the Matter of Julie A. Introcaso, Esquire On March 17, 2021, the court received a filing from the Attorney Discipline Office (ADO), which included copies of criminal complaints charging Julie A. Introcaso with falsifying physical evidence, two class B felonies, and with tampering with public records or information, two class A misdemeanors. See RSA 641: 6 and : 7. Pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 37(9)(i), when an attorney is charged with any felony, “the court shall take such actions as it deems necessary, including but not limited to the suspension of the attorney.” This court has stated that it may impose an interim suspension pending the resolution of criminal charges in accordance with this provision when it is deemed necessary: (1) for the protection of the public; and (2) for the preservation of the integrity of the legal profession. See Reiner’s Case, 152 N.H. 163, 168 (2005) (citing Rule 37(16)(f). The ADO’s filing recommends an interim suspension and represents that Attorney Introcaso does not object to an interim suspension. The court finds that, considering the nature of the alleged felonies, Attorney Introcaso’s immediate suspension from the practice of law is necessary to protect the public and to preserve the integrity of the legal profession. See Rule 37(9)(i) and (16)(d), (f). Accordingly, it is hereby ordered: (1) In accordance with Rule 37(9)(i) and (16)(f), Attorney Julie A. Introcaso is immediately suspended from the practice of law in New Hampshire on a temporary basis pending further order of this court. (2) A copy of this order and of the ADO?s filing shall be served on Attorney Introcaso by first class mail and certified mail, return receipt requested. (3) Within 15 days from the date of this order, Attorney Introcaso may request a hearing on the issue of whether the interim suspension should be lifted, which will be promptly scheduled. See Reiner’s Case, 152 N.H. at 167. Bassett, Hantz Marconi, and Donovan, JJ., concurred. DATE: March 24, 2021 ATTEST: J 5 i mothy A. Gudas, Clerk
