RANCOURT [#161461], 33, of Providence, R.I., was suspended for one year, stayed, and placed on probation for one year on the condition that he is actually suspended for 60 days and until he makes restitution.

The order was effective Jan. 29, 1998.In a divorce matter, Rancourt abandoned his client, failed to complete legal services, communicate and return unearned fees.Rancourt also failed to meet conditions of a 1996 public reproval when he failed to attend the bar's ethics school and pass the MPRE.He did not participate in the disciplinary proceedings.
