Supreme Court of Kansas
In re Borich
August 5, 2022514 P.3d 352
Summary
The court adopted the hearing panel’s findings that Borich violated professional-conduct rules concerning competence, scope of representation, fees, client funds, termination of representation, and professional misconduct. Rejecting the panel’s proposed 90-day suspension and partial refund, the court imposed a one-year suspension and required repayment of all $46,910 in attorney fees because the misconduct occurred throughout the representation and caused substantial client injury. The suspension’s final nine months may be stayed if repayment is completed within the specified period.
