Not A Term Of Endearment

An oral argument before the Kansas Supreme Court in December 2017 deals with an attorney’s admitted misconduct in his interactions with a prospective female client in a domestic matter.

In the initial telephone call, the attorney referred to the prospective client as “baby” and, as a result, she decided to record the rest of the conversation. 

He ended with the statement advising her to “don’t wear underpanties” when they met.

She filed a complaint with the Disciplinary Administrator instead. 

The issue before the court is whether to impose probation or a suspension. (Mike Frisch)
