Description
This is an original proceeding in discipline filed by the office of the Disciplinary Administrator against Kenneth P. Seck, of Overland Park, an attorney admitted to the practice of law in Kansas. A hearing was held before a panel of the Kansas Board for Discipline of Attorneys. The respondent appeared pro se and the Disciplinary Administrator appeared by and through Marty M. Snyder, Deputy Disciplinary Administrator. The respondent's motion for continuance and his objection to the makeup of the panel were denied. After the hearing, the panel concluded that the following findings of fact were established by clear and convincing evidence: ""1. Respondent is an attorney at law; his Kansas Attorney Registration number is 6974, and his last registration address for the Clerk of the Appellate Courts of Kansas is: 8600 W. 95th Street, Suite 104, Overland Park, Kansas 66212. ""2. Respondent has engaged in the active practice of law in Kansas and Missouri for 25 years. His practice was initially concentrated in the domestic relations and divorce area, but in the last 6 to 8 years has been concentrated in the areas of workers' compensation and personal injury. ""3. Respondent's client, Ms. Hager-Early, was injured in an accident on January 12, 1990, and employed Respondent to represent her in filing a lawsuit. A contingent fee based upon the amount of the recovery was agreed upon but never put into writing. The lawsuit was filed January 10, 1992, by Respondent. ""4. Ms. Hager-Early's insurance company sent Respondent a standard letter notifying him of the insurance company's personal injury protection (PIP) lien. Some 10 months later the lawsuit was settled for $25,000, which included the PIP lien, plus $1,700 for property damages.
