Supreme Court of Kansas
In re Malone
October 14, 2022518 P.3d 406
Summary
The court found that Malone violated professional-conduct rules governing conflicts with current and former clients, safekeeping disputed client property, and candor toward a tribunal. Because the violations caused actual financial and legal harm to the former client, including exposure to possible probation revocation, the court imposed a 90-day suspension despite substantial mitigation. The court also assessed costs and required compliance with post-suspension notice requirements.
