Attorney Kathryn A. Kent of Brattleboro, VT; ethical leprechaun

The state of Vermont presented Kathryn A. Kent with a law license in 1996.

The Vermont Professional Responsibility Board found Kathy guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to advise client law office had been closed
• Failed to give notice to court of withdrawal from client’s case
• Never returned client file to client
• Failed to communicate with client’s successor attorney
• Failed to deliver client file to successor attorney
• Failure to return client file prejudiced client’s claims
• Abandoned her law practice
• Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
• Failed to take reasonable steps to protect client interests after representation ended
• Neglected legal matter entrusted to her
• Failed to respond to ethics investigators (Up yours, said Kathy!)

As a consequence of her misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Vermont Supreme Court punished Kathy by gifting her with a complimentary 2-year suspension of her law license.

As we speak (ca. December 2014) Kathy practices in West Brattleboro, Vermont.
