Disbarred Kansas Attorney

Jon Michael King, Esquire, of Lawrence Kansas just surrendered his license to practice law and is now disbarred.  While working full time as a trust officer for the Trust Company Of Kansas, he also collected fees as a private attorney, which was against his contract. Because of this conflict of interest, there is disciplinary action pending and he surrendered his license. Had he just chosen corporate clients, such as the bank, who did not insist upon a contract disallowing private practice at the same time, he probably would have been fine.
