The Respondent’s testimony in denial of the charges against him lacks credibility when weighed against the statement of impartial bystanders who stand no opportunity for gain or loss by the result of these proceedings. “The Hearing Officer concludes from the evidence that the Respondent, Biagio J. Perrello, is guilty of professional misconduct in violation of Disciplinary Rule 2-103(A), Disciplinary Rule 2-104(A)(1), and Disciplinary Rule 1-102(A)(1), (4), and (6).” 260 Ind. 261 , 295 N.E.2d 361 .”
