On Tuesday, April 2, 2024, the Supreme Court of Missouri issued an order disbarring Kathleen Wolf Miller from practicing law in the state.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Kathleen Wolf Miller,” with case no. SC100423.
The charges cited Missouri Rules of Professional Conduct 4-1.1, 4-1.3, 4-1.4, 4-1.15, 4-1.15(f), 4-1.15(d), 4-1.16(d), 4-5.3, 4-8.1, 4-8.4(c), and 4-8.4(d).
According to the filing, the Chief Disciplinary Counsel had filed an information with the court stating there was probable cause that Miller was guilty of professional misconduct based on an investigation. Miller failed to file a timely answer to the allegations against her.
As Miller did not respond to the allegations, she was found in default by the court. The Chief Disciplinary Counsel then recommended discipline against Miller for her actions. Miller filed a response on March 6, 2024, to the recommendation. After reviewing the filings, the Supreme Court found that Miller had violated various Missouri Rules of Professional Conduct.
For these violations, the court ordered that Miller be disbarred, and her name be removed from the state’s roll of attorneys. She is also instructed to follow procedures related to disbarment. In addition to losing her ability to practice law in Missouri, Miller was also assessed $2,000 to be paid to the Advisory Committee Fund and required to pay court costs. With the disbarment order, Kathleen Wolf Miller is no longer allowed to practice law in the state of Missouri.
According to avvo.com, Ms. Miller was an attorney in Joplin, Missouri. She acquired her law license in Missouri in 2004.
