Supreme Court of Missouri

In re: Joseph v. Neill

January 9, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court of Missouri suspended Joseph V. Neill indefinitely with a six‑month bar to reinstatement, holding that he is ineligible for probation because his conduct constitutes acts warranting disbarment. The Court reasoned that the admitted sexual harassment of a client satisfies the disbarment prong of Rule 5.225(a)(2)(C) and that an indefinite suspension is the appropriate sanction given the ABA‑guided factors.
