Supreme Court of Missouri
In Re: Ambry Nichole Schuessler, Respondent. in Re: Katherine Anne Dierdorf, Respondent.
August 13, 2019578 S.W.3d 762
Summary
The Court independently reviewed the disciplinary record and found that Dierdorf violated Rules 4-1.13, 4-8.4(c), and 4-8.4(d) by concealing knowledge of a police assault and related false charges, lying to investigators, and directing another attorney to withhold information. It found that Schuessler violated Rules 4-8.4(c), 4-8.4(d), and 4-8.4(g) through repeated dishonesty, interference with the investigation, and a racist and homophobic remark made in the workplace. The Court imposed indefinite suspensions with no leave to apply for reinstatement for three years for Dierdorf and two years for Schuessler.
