Samuel McCargo will be suspended for 179 days because of misconduct in the Kwame Kilpatrick text-message scandal, the Michigan Attorney Discipline Board announced today.

The suspension usually does not take place until all appeals are exhausted and the matter could ultimately go to the Michigan Supreme Court.

The board also assessed costs of $36,554.97.

McCargo represented then Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who later pleaded guilty to perjury-related charges and is now serving 18 months to five years for probation violation in that case.
