Bar Docket No. 13026 
 
In the Matter of DAVID BEN MANDELBAUM, 
Respondent. 
 
 
ORDER OF DISBARMENT 
 
 
In a letter signed by the respondent on August 8, 2018, addressed to the Clerk of 
the Appellate Courts, respondent David Ben Mandelbaum, 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 (2018 Kan. S. Ct. R. 261).   
 
 
At the time the respondent surrendered his license, the office of the Disciplinary 
Administrator was investigating a complaint alleging that the respondent violated Kansas

violating 26 U.S.C. § 7201 (2016), attempting to evade or defeat tax. On August 8, 2018, 
the respondent entered a plea of guilty to the felony offense.  
 
This court finds that the surrender of the respondent's license should be accepted 
and that the respondent should be disbarred.   
 
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that David Ben Mandelbaum be and he is hereby 
disbarred from the practice of law in Kansas, and his license and privilege to practice law 
are hereby revoked.   
 
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Appellate Courts strike the name of 
David Ben Mandelbaum from the roll of attorneys licensed to practice law in Kansas.
