Per Curiam.

{¶ 1} Respondent, Albert Duane Shirer of Medina, Ohio, Attorney Registration No. 0062670, was admitted to the practice of law in Ohio in 1994. On September 3, 2014, relator, Medina County Bar Association, charged Shirer with professional misconduct in one client matter. Relator alleged that Shirer was retained by a client to obtain the dissolution of her marriage. Relator claimed that Shirer failed to file an agreed qualified domestic-relations order ("QDRO") with the domestic-relations court and with the entity that administered the pension of his client's ex-husband. Many years later, Shirer's client had to retain a new attorney to file the QDRO and to represent her when her former husband disputed that some of the retirement benefits existed at the time of the divorce.

{¶ 2} A panel of the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline1 considered the cause on the parties' consent-to-discipline agreement. See BCGD Proc.Reg. 11.2

{¶ 3} In the consent-to-discipline agreement, Shirer stipulates to the facts alleged in relator's complaint and agrees that his conduct violated DR 6-101(A)(3) of the Code of Professional Responsibility (prohibiting neglect of an entrusted legal matter).3

{¶ 4} The parties stipulate that applicable mitigating factors include the absence of a prior disciplinary record, the absence of a dishonest or selfish motive, Shirer's cooperative attitude toward the disciplinary proceedings, and evidence of his good character or reputation. See BCGD Proc.Reg. 10(B)(2)(a), (b), (d), and (e).4 We agree with the panel's and the board's determinations that Shirer's payment of $800 to the client's current attorney, while not constituting "restitution" in the true sense of the word, nevertheless was an effort to rectify the consequences of Shirer's misconduct and qualifies as a mitigating factor. See BCGD Proc.Reg. 10(B)(2)(c). The parties agree that there are no aggravating factors. Based upon Shirer's stipulated misconduct and these factors, the parties stipulate that the appropriate sanction is a public reprimand.

{¶ 5} The panel and board found that the consent-to-discipline agreement conforms to BCGD Proc.Reg. 11 and recommend that we adopt the agreement in its entirety.

{¶ 6} We agree that Shirer violated DR 6-101(A)(3) and that this conduct warrants a public reprimand. Therefore, we adopt the parties' consent-to-discipline agreement.

{¶ 7} Accordingly, Albert Duane Shirer is hereby publicly reprimanded. Costs are taxed to Shirer.

Judgment accordingly.
