CONRADO N. QUE vs. ATTY. ANASTACIO E. REVILLA,
JR., A.C. No.7054, November 11, 2014
“x x x.
Based on the foregoing, we conclude that the respondent
committed various acts of professional misconduct and thereby failed to live up
to the exacting ethical standards imposed on members of the Bar. We cannot,
agree, however, that only a penalty of one-year suspension from the practice of
law should be imposed. Neither should we limit ourselves to the originally
recommended penalty of suspension for two (2) years.
Given the respondent’s multiple violations, his past record
as previously discussed, and the nature of these violations which shows the
readiness to disregard court rules and to gloss over concerns for the orderly
administration of justice, we believe and so hold that the appropriate action
of this Court is to disbar the respondent to keep him away from the law
profession and from any significant role in the administration of justice which
he has disgraced. He is a continuing risk, too, to the public that the legal
profession serves. Not even his ardor and overzealousness in defending the
interests of his client can save him.
Such traits at the expense of everything
else, particularly the integrity of the profession and the orderly
administration of justice, this Court cannot accept nor tolerate.
X x x.”
