In the Matter of the Application of Queens County Bar Association in Respect of Richard F. Adams, an Attorney and Counselor at Law, Respondent.

Respondent’s indifference to and neglect of his client’s interests after having received a substantial fee and his failure to return the unearned share require that he be suspended from the practice of the law for a period of two years. An appropriate accounting to his client may have an effect upon a motion for reinstatement. The respondent is suspended from the practice of the law for a period of two years. Present— Lazansky, P. J., Carswell, Davis, Johnston and Adel, JJ.
