The Florida Bar v. Karl O. Koepke

Summary

The court rejected the referee’s recommended one-year suspension and ordered that Karl O. Koepke be disbarred. It held that Koepke intentionally concealed a settlement agreement, misled the court, violated a discovery order, and diverted funds for his personal benefit, making disbarment appropriate under the applicable disciplinary standards. The court also imposed the Bar’s costs. No separate opinions were filed.
