Indiana Supreme Court

In the Matter of Kirmille D. Lewis, Respondent.

December 28, 2018113 N.E.3d 608

Summary

The Court adopted the hearing officer's unchallenged findings after Respondent failed to appear or respond to the disciplinary complaint, concluding that she committed extensive misconduct involving conversion of client funds, neglect, dishonesty, and failure to cooperate. The Court disbarred Respondent effective immediately because the seriousness and scope of the misconduct, together with her failure to participate, demonstrated that disbarment was necessary. The Court also declined to find a violation based on the noncooperation count because no rule violation had been charged for that count.
