Attorney Kevin Johnson of Olympia, WA; ethical troll

The State of Washington presented Kevin L. Johnson with a law license in 1995 after he graduated from Seattle University School of Law.

The Washington State Bar found Kevin guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.  

• Failed to maintain required trust account records
• Failed to safeguard client funds
• Failed to act fairly in dealings with opposing counsel and party
• Pursued claims that lacked any merit (frivolous)
• Failed to decline/terminate representation when required to so act
• Charged and/or attempt to collect an unreasonable fee
• Failed to deposit client’s advanced fees into a trust account
• Failed to reconcile a check register to the bank statements
• Failed to maintain client funds in a trust account, by disbursing more funds from the trust account than the clients or third persons had on deposit
• Removed funds from one client’s trust account for use on behalf of another client who had no funds in his trust account
• Knowingly filed frivolous counterclaims in a litigation matter
• Failed to return the property of a former client in the same litigation matter
• Failed to provide a written accounting to a client after removing funds from a trust account

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Washington Supreme Court punished Kevin by gifting him with a complimentary 12-month suspension of his law license.   

As we speak (ca. December 2023), Kevin practices his so-called brand of law with Kevin L. Johnson PS Attorney at 1405 Harrison Avenue NW in Olympia, Washington.
