in count one. The general conditions stated herein shall
         apply to this count.
            As to count three, the petitioner has failed to carry
         its burden of proof as to a violation of rule 1.4 (a) (1),
         (2), (3) and (4) of the Rules of Professional Conduct
         and those charges are dismissed. However, the respon-
         dent is guilty of misconduct in that she violated rule
         1.4 (a) (5) and (b) of the Rules of Professional Conduct.
         The respondent is suspended from the practice of law
         in Connecticut effective immediately for a period of one
         (1) year. The suspension shall be concurrent to the
         suspensions of counts one and two. The general condi-
         tions stated herein shall apply to this count.
            As to count four, the respondent is guilty of miscon-
         duct in that she violated rule 5.5 of the Rules of Profes-
         sional Conduct. The respondent is suspended from the
         practice of law in Connecticut effective immediately
         for a period of one (1) year. This suspension shall be
         concurrent to the suspensions in counts one, two and
         three.
           In addition to the above, these general conditions
         shall apply:
            The petitioner is ordered to designate a trustee, sub-
         ject to the approval of the court, to take such steps as
         are necessary pursuant to Practice Book § 2-64 to pro-
         tect the interests of the respondent’s clients, to inven-
         tory the respondent’s files, and to take control of her
         clients’ funds, and any IOLTA or other fiduciary
         accounts. A hearing shall be held by the court relative
         to the approval of the designated trustee on January 3,
         2019, or sooner upon motion of the petitioner. Once
         approved, the respondent must fully cooperate with the
         trustee in all respects. Failure to do so may constitute
         additional misconduct and subject her to additional
         sanctions by this court.
