In Re: Kevin Lovell James

Summary

The Supreme Court of Louisiana accepted the petition for consent discipline against attorney Kevin Lovell James, imposing a one‑year‑and‑one‑day suspension with only thirty days deferred and a subsequent two‑year supervised probation. The court found the attorney’s mismanagement of a client trust account and repeated failure to cooperate with the Office of Disciplinary Counsel warranted the discipline. A dissenting judge argued the sanction was too lenient.
