IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS 
 
Bar Docket No. 12619 
 
In the Matter of ALAN B. GALLAS, 
Respondent. 
 
 
ORDER OF DISBARMENT 
 
 
In a letter signed October 21, 2015, addressed to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts, 
respondent Alan B. Gallas, an attorney admitted to practice law in Kansas, voluntarily 
surrendered his license to practice law in Kansas, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 217 
(2014 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 403).   
 
At the time the respondent surrendered his license, a complaint had been docketed 
by the Office of the Disciplinary Administrator for investigation.  The complaint alleged 
that the respondent violated Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct 1.15 (2014 Kan. Ct. 
R. Annot. 567) (safekeeping property) and 8.4(b) and (c) (2014 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 680) 
(misconduct).  The allegations involved conversion of client funds.  
 
This court, having examined the files of the office of the Disciplinary 
Administrator, finds that the surrender of the respondent's license should be accepted and 
that the respondent should be disbarred.   
 
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Alan B. Gallas be and he is hereby disbarred from 
the practice of law in Kansas, and his license and privilege to practice law are hereby 
revoked.

Dated this 4th day of November, 2015.
