Discipline Summaries
December 13, 2001 McCALL B. KUHNE [#133483], 42, of Olathe, Kan., was suspended for two years, stayed, placed on two years of probation with a nine-month actual suspension, and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year and comply with rule 955. The order took effect Dec. 13, 2001. Kuhne was suspended from practice in 1999 for failure to pay bar dues. Prior to paying the fees, she mistakenly believed her employer had paid them. She paid the overdue amount as soon as she learned the dues had not been paid. During the suspension, however, she worked as a contract attorney, screened 200-300 cases and made six court appearances.She stipulated that she practiced law while not entitled to do so.In a second matter, she stipulated that she failed to pay client funds promptly in a workers’ compensation/personal injury matter in which she represented a good friend. Kuhne originally represented the friend as a favor but at some point it was agreed she would receive a share of the recovery as her fee.Kuhne settled the claim for $50,000; she and the client received about $18,000 and a medical provider was to receive nearly $32,000 to satisfy a lien from the workers’ comp portion of the claim. Kuhne paid $2,000 to another attorney who had helped with the case.When she received the $18,000 check from an insurance company, she deposited it in her trust account and said she would forward her client’s share. They still had not discussed her fee.Kuhne did not return her friend’s phone calls for three months and when they spoke, the friend offered her half of the settlement. Kuhne was candid in telling the friend she could not pay the money at one time and offered to pay her $2,000 a month. However, she never paid any of the friend’s portion of the settlement.In mitigation, she has no prior record of discipline, she had family problems at the time of the misconduct and she cooperated with the bar’s investigation. |
