On Tuesday, March 4, 2025, the Supreme Court of Missouri suspended Attorney Leon James Davis Jr. from practicing law indefinitely.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Leon James Davis Jr.,” with case no. SC100931.
The decision stemmed from a reciprocal discipline motion filed by the Chief Disciplinary Counsel. The motion highlighted a prior suspension with probation imposed on Davis by the Kansas Supreme Court for violating the Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct. The Missouri court determined that Davis’s actions also breached Rule 4-8.4(b) of the Missouri Rules of Professional Conduct.
The court issued a show cause order to Davis on January 15, 2025, to which he responded on January 31, 2025. After reviewing the case, the Missouri Supreme Court upheld the suspension, requiring Davis to adhere to Rule 5.27 procedures following the order. Additionally, Davis was ordered to pay a $1,000 fee to the Advisory Committee Fund and cover associated court costs.
According to avvo.com, Mr. Davis Jr. is an attorney in Kansas City, Missouri. He acquired his law license in Missouri in 2013.
