IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS 
 
Bar Docket No. 10428 
 
In the Matter of ALLEN B. ANGST, 
Respondent. 
 
ORDER OF DISBARMENT 
 
 
This court admitted Allen B. Angst to the practice of law in Kansas on May 28, 
1982. In March 2021, Angst transferred from "active" to "retired" status. In a letter signed 
April 19, 2023, Angst voluntarily surrendered his license to practice law under Supreme 
Court Rule 230(a) (2023 Kan. S. Ct. R. at 290).  
 
At the time Angst surrendered his license, he faced a hearing before the Kansas 
Board for Discipline of Attorneys on an amended formal complaint filed by the Office of 
the Disciplinary Administrator. That amended complaint alleged Angst had violated 
Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct 1.15(a) and (d) (2023 Kan. S. Ct. R. at 372) 
(safekeeping property) and 1.16(d) (2023 Kan. S. Ct. R. at 377) (declining or terminating 
representation).  
 
This court accepts the surrender of Angst's license, orders Angst disbarred from 
the practice of law pursuant to Rule 230(b), and revokes Angst's license and privilege to 
practice law in Kansas. 
 
The court further orders the Office of Judicial Administration to strike the name of 
Allen B. Angst from the roll of attorneys licensed to practice law in Kansas effective the 
date of this order.

The court notes that under Rule 230(b)(1)(C), any pending board proceeding or 
case terminates effective the date of this order. The Disciplinary Administrator may 
direct an investigator to complete a pending investigation to preserve evidence. 
 
Finally, the court directs that this order be published in the Kansas Reports, that 
the costs herein be assessed to Angst, and that Angst comply with Supreme Court Rule 
231 (2023 Kan. S. Ct. R. at 292).  
 
Dated this 28th day of April 2023.
