Kentucky Bar Association, Movant v. Philip M. Kleinsmith

Summary

The Kentucky Supreme Court granted the Kentucky Bar Association's petition for reciprocal discipline after the Arizona Supreme Court publicly reprimanded Philip M. Kleinsmith and placed him on probation for misconduct. Because Kleinsmith did not show a lack of jurisdiction, fraud, or grounds for substantially different discipline, the court imposed an equivalent Kentucky reprimand and one-year probation, with an alternative Kentucky ethics program permitted for early termination.
