On Thursday, November 7, 2024, the Indiana Supreme Court imposed an interim suspension on attorney Michael L. Meyer after being found guilty of a crime punishable as a felony. The Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission filed a request for suspension after Meyer was convicted of conspiracy to defraud the United States and tax evasion.
In the Matter of “Michael L. Meyer,” with case no. 24S-DI-337.
The court, after reviewing the commission’s notice and relevant materials, determined that Meyer should be suspended from practicing law in the state effective immediately. This suspension is in accordance with Indiana Admission and Discipline Rule 23(11.1)(a), which governs attorney conduct during disciplinary proceedings.
Meyer is required to adhere to the obligations set forth for suspended attorneys under Rule 23(26) while the suspension is in effect. The interim suspension will remain until further court order or the completion of any resulting disciplinary actions.
The Disposition states:
“IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Respondent is suspended from the practice of law in this State, effective immediately. Respondent is ordered to fulfill the continuing duties of a suspended attorney under Admission and Discipline Rule 23(26).”
