In the Matter of Kimberly L. Smith

Summary

The Supreme Court of South Carolina accepted the disciplinary agreement and imposed the ultimate sanction of disbarment on the respondent attorney for numerous violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct, including competence, diligence, communication, honesty, and conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice. The court concluded that the respondent’s repeated false statements and failure to prosecute client matters warranted removal from the practice of law.
