The Washington State Supreme Court ordered a nine-month suspension for attorney Sean Patrick Kuhlmeyer, ending a disciplinary investigation into a pattern of frivolous litigation and the mishandling of client funds.
Anthony, I had to laugh when I read in your article, “The first set of violations originated from Kuhlmeyer’s own dissolution proceedings, which began in 2017. Kuhlmeyer, who had no experience in family law, represented himself because he CLAIMED THAT HE COULD NOT AFFORD TO HIRE COUNSEL”
Kuhlmeyer, welcome to the world of what I call, “Lady Justice via money weight scales”
Why are so many settlements made out of court? Nobody can afford to pay the price to go to court. It doesn’t mean you were right or wrong, it means you capitulated before having to claim bankruptcy.
Fortunately, in this case, justice was done. We don’t know what the price his poor wife had to pay.
Will they do anything to make sure his personal/emotional problems and PTSD no longer impact his decision-making skills? What happens the next time personal/emotional problems show up in his life; will he go off the rails again? Being a lawyer isn’t for everyone, and having a degree doesn’t matter if a person’s inability to handle themselves conflicts with their mandated obligations as a licensed lawyer.

Asshole didn't like that his wife got to keep her own child that she cared for always. Decided to become a massive liability for everyone.
