Lawrence lawyer’s license indefinitely suspended after violating rules of professional conduct

Lawrence attorney Karen A. Eager is indefinitely banned from practicing law after violating an earlier license suspension and violating rules of professional conduct, the Kansas Supreme Court announced Wednesday.

The state Supreme Court had originally suspended Eager’s license in 2012 after she did not comply with the state’s continuing legal education requirements, according to court documents.

However, Eager continued to practice law without her license at Disability Rights Center in Topeka until her termination in 2013, failing to tell her clients, opposing counsel and the courts of her suspension, as required by law.

In total, a panel of the Kansas Board for Discipline of Attorneys found Eager violated 10 rules of professional conduct.

The panel found that Eager’s professional misconduct in eight cases from 2006 to 2012 led to the dismissal of several of her clients’s cases.
