In the Matter of STEVEN D. ROSEL,  
Respondent. 
 
 
ORDER OF DISBARMENT 
 
 
 
In a letter signed on December 17, 2012, addressed to the Clerk of the Appellate 
Courts, respondent Steven D. Rosel, 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 (2011 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 371) as amended December 1, 2012. 
 
 
At the time the respondent surrendered his license, a complaint had been docketed 
by the Disciplinary Administrator's office in accordance with Supreme Court Rule 211 
(2011 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 334). The complaint alleged that respondent violated Kansas 
Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (2011 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 416) (competence); 1.5 
(2011 Kan Ct. R. Annot. 470) (fees); 1.7 (2011 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 484) (conflict of 
interest:  current clients); 1.8 (2011 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 494) (conflict of interest:  current 
clients:  specific rules); 1.9 (2011 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 502) (conflict of interest:  duties to 
former client); 1.16 (2011 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 535) (declining or terminating 
representation); and 8.4(a), (d) and (e) (2011 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 618) (misconduct).  
 
 
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.
