TOPEKA, Kansas (WIBW) – After a lawyer practicing in Kansas fails to report indefinite suspension of his Missouri license, the Kansas Supreme Court has suspended his license to practice in Sunflower State for one year.

The Kansas Supreme Court states in Case # 123,993: In the Corey Michael Swischer case, an original legal discipline proceeding, he suspended his license to practice law in Kansas for one year, effective December 10.

The Disciplinary Administrator and Swischer filed an abstract submission agreement in which he clarified that he had violated several Kansas rules of conduct, including the following:

• KRPC 1.1 (competence)
• KRPC 1.3 (diligence)
• KRPC 3.3 (franchise to court)
• KRPC 8.3 (a) (report professional misconduct)

The court said the violations stemmed from Swischer’s failure to report to the Disciplinary Administrator’s office an indefinite suspension of his license to practice law in Missouri, which had been imposed by the Missouri Supreme Court in September 2019.

The court said it ruled that a one-year suspension of the Kansas license was appropriate.
