Kentucky Supreme Court
Kentucky Bar Association, Movant v. George W. Woodcock, Jr., Kba Member No. 78720
December 19, 20132013 Ky. LEXIS 646
Summary
The Kentucky Supreme Court imposed reciprocal discipline on George W. Woodcock after the Illinois Supreme Court suspended him for six months based on misconduct involving an excessive fee and inadequate explanation of the representation. The court found no jurisdictional or fraud-based exception and concluded that Kentucky discipline should be identical. It further made the Kentucky suspension retroactive and concurrent with the Illinois suspension because Woodcock self-reported, cooperated, and had an otherwise unblemished disciplinary history.
