Supreme Court of Kansas
In re Martinez
April 1, 2022506 P.3d 909
Summary
The court adopted the hearing panel's findings that Daniel J. Martinez violated multiple Kansas professional-conduct rules through incompetent representation, inadequate communication, improper handling of fees, misleading assurances, failure to protect a former client's interests, and other misconduct. Because Martinez filed no exceptions, the panel's factual findings were deemed admitted, and the court found clear and convincing evidence supporting the violations. The court imposed a three-year suspension but stayed it and placed Martinez on probation for three years, with additional requirements to refund $9,000 and follow treatment recommendations.
