KS Supreme Court to consider temporary suspension of former JoCo DA candidate’s law license
Scott Hattrup, a Johnson County attorney and unsuccessful Republican candidate for the Kansas statehouse and for Johnson County District Attorney, is scheduled to go before the Kansas Supreme Court next Friday to try to stop his law license from being temporarily suspended.
On August 21, Hattrup was supposed to appear at an ethics hearing before the Office of Disciplinary Administrator,
which hears complaints against lawyers in the state of Kansas. But Hattrup was in the Johnson County jail on civil contempt charges for failing to comply with a divorce decree from April 2008.
Johnson County District Court Judge Kevin P. Moriarty had ordered Hattrup
“to enter into and execute a contract to list
for a sale” a house at 11925 West 92nd Terrace in Lenexa by July 29. He didn’t do
it, so he was arrested for contempt.
Hattrup’s next hearing before the Disciplinary Administrator is scheduled for November 5 at 9:30 a.m. Hattrup faces three complaints against him: Two filed by
Lisa Daniels and one by former Kansas lawmaker Patricia Kilpatrick.
