Respondent was charged with felony first-degree domestic violence but entered a plea of no contest to third-degree simple assault. Respondent violated Rule 8.4(b) (prohibiting criminal acts that reflect adversely on fitness as a lawyer) and 8.4(c) (prohibiting conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice).
