1. ““This is not a case of dishonesty or intentional harm to a client. It is a tragic example of human frailty and die consequences of addiction to crack cocaine. The panel makes a compelling case for probation, and we might have concurred had respondent appeared before this court and verified that he is participating in drug counseling and treatment and has continued to abstain from using illegal drugs. He failed to do either. Our ultimate goal here is to protect die public. See In re Jones, 252 Kan. 236, 239, 843 P.2d 709 (1992). We conclude diat goal can only be achieved in this case by indefinitely suspending the respondent.””
