NOTICE OF REPRIMAND
Case No. 25-46-RD
Notice Issued: August 21, 2025
Laurel Meyers Byrnes, P 84831, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Reprimand, Effective August 14, 2025
The Grievance Administrator filed a Notice of Filing of Reciprocal Discipline pursuant to MCR 9.120(C), that attached a certified copy of an order entered by the Supreme Court of Colorado on December 18, 2024, suspending respondent’s license to practice law in Colorado for one year and one day, to be stayed upon successful completion of a two‑year period of probation subject to other conditions, in People v Laurel Meyers Byrnes, Colorado Discipline Case 24PDJ040.
An order regarding imposition of reciprocal discipline was issued by the Board on May 28, 2025, ordering the parties to, within 21 days from service of the order, inform the Board in writing: (i) of any objection to the imposition of comparable discipline in Michigan based on the grounds set forth in MCR 9.120(C)(1), and (ii) whether a hearing was requested. The 21‑day period expired without objections by either party and respondent was deemed to be in default. As a result, the Attorney Discipline Board ordered that respondent be reprimanded in Michigan.[1] Costs were assessed in the amount of $1,511.54.
[1] Because the Michigan discipline system does not have a stayed suspension as a type of discipline, a reprimand is an appropriate and comparable level of discipline.
