The New Jersey Supreme Court has imposed a six-month suspension on Haddonfield attorney Susan Lowden for lying to a client about the status of his case in order to conceal her neglect of the matter.

The court imposed the suspension on Lowden in an order made public Thursday. Lowden was found in default by a District Ethics Committee after she failed to file an answer to the complaint. Four Disciplinary Review Board members favored a six-month suspension while four others favored a three-month suspension.
