On February 16, 2018, this court indefinitely suspended the respondent's license to 
practice law. In re Hult, 307 Kan. 479, 410 P.3d 879 (2018). 
 
Four additional disciplinary complaints have since been filed with the Disciplinary 
Administrator alleging violations of Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (2019 
Kan. S. Ct. R. 295) (competence), 1.3 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 298) (diligence), 1.4 (2019 
Kan. S. Ct. R. 299) (communication), 1.15 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 334) (safekeeping 
property), 1.16 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 339) (termination of representation), 5.5 (2019 Kan. 
S. Ct. R. 369) (unauthorized practice of law), 8.1 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 384) (failure to 
respond to disciplinary authority), 8.4 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 387) (professional 
misconduct), and Supreme Court Rules 207 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 252) (failure to 
cooperate in disciplinary investigation) and 218 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 268) (failure to 
notify client of suspension).  
 
In a letter signed May 13, 2019, addressed to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts, 
respondent Matthew Edgar Hult, an attorney admitted to the practice of law in the state of 
Kansas, voluntarily surrendered his license to practice law in Kansas, pursuant to 
Supreme Court Rule 217(b)(1) (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 267).   
 
This court finds that the surrender of the respondent's license should be accepted 
and that the respondent should be disbarred.
