CALLEJO, SR., J.
It has been more than 17 months since we ordered respondent's suspension from the practice of law. To our mind, this is more than enough time for him to reflect and realize the gravity of his actuations. Respondent is contrite and remorseful. He has humbly acknowledged his transgression and offered his most sincere apology. This Court is not only a court of law and of justice, but one with compassion; [1] not a Court of vengeance but of justice. [2] We give prima facie credence to his vow "to be more circumspect and careful in the discharge of his professional functions and duties' and not to "repeat the same mistake again in the future".
