P.R. Laws tit. 4, § 739
If after due consideration of the evidence presented by both sides, the Supreme Court should find the complaint, or any material part of it, to be true, it shall make an order for the removal or suspension of the party complained of, according to the gravity of the charges; and it shall further order that the name of the offender be stricken from the Roll of Attorneys and counsellors-at-law.
The Supreme Court may, in its discretion, at any time, after rendering a decision in these cases suspending from practicing or permanently removing from such practice an attorney or counsellor-at-law, either of its own accord or at the request of such attorney or counsellor-at-law, reduce the time of suspension or remit the whole of the penalty imposed.
