Kentucky Bar Association, Movant v. Gary Lynn Goble

Summary

The Kentucky Supreme Court affirmed the Board of Governors’ recommendation and ordered a five‑year suspension of Gary Lynn Goble for violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct involving financial misconduct, finding that the misconduct, while serious, did not merit permanent disbarment because it did not arise from the practice of law, involved a smaller sum, and Goble had no prior discipline. Justice Minton dissented, arguing that any financial fraud by an attorney warrants permanent disbarment.
