Bar Docket No. 16013 
 
 
In the Matter of JON MICHAEL KING, 
Respondent. 
 
 
ORDER OF DISBARMENT 
 
 
 
In a letter signed on May 3, 2013, addressed to the Clerk of the Appellate 
Courts, respondent Jon Michael King of Lawrence, Kansas, 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 (2012 Kan. Ct. R. 
Annot. 389) as amended December 1, 2012. 
 
 
At the time the respondent surrendered his license, he was pending a panel 
hearing on a complaint in accordance with Supreme Court Rule 211 (2012 Kan. 
Ct. R. Annot. 350). The complaint concerns allegations of misconduct that 
respondent violated Rules 1.5 (unreasonable fees) (2012 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 492), 
1.7 (conflict of interest) (2012 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 506), 1.13 (organization as 
client) (2012 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 536), 1.15 (trust account and record keeping) 
(2012 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 541), and 8.4 (misconduct) (2012 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 
643) of the Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct.    
 
 
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.
