Ogle, Ky. App., 681 S.W.2d 921 (1984). Trial Court does not lose subject matter jurisdiction over Motion to modify child support and maintenance obligations during pendency of appeal from original award. Jackson v. Jackson, Ky. App. 734 S.W.2d 498 (1987). Trial Court in divorce case may not adopt as its findings of fact a settlement agreement which had been signed by only one of the parties. City of Devondale v. Stallings, Ky., 795 S.W.2d 954 (1990). Failure of Appellant to name indispensable parties in timely filed Notice of Appeal is a
4 non-waiverable jurisdictional defect. This is a often cited appellate law case in Kentucky. Kentucky Bar Association v. Unnamed Attorney, Ky., 834 S.W.2d 649 (1991). I represented an attorney who had been previously suspended from the practice of law. The issue in the unnamed Opinion was the effective date of that suspension when a Petition for Rehearing was filed with the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court rarely does Unnamed Attorney reported decisions in attorney disciplinary cases. There was ambiguity in the way the Rule read regarding the effective date of suspensions, and the effect of the filing of a Petition for Rehearing. As a result, the Unnamed Attorney Opinion was to give guidance to other attorneys in Kentucky as to the Court s interpretation of the applicable Rules. Hoye v. Hoye, Ky., 824 S.W.2d 422 (1992). Supreme Court, in unanimous decision, abolished tort of intentional interference with the marital relation, which included the common law tort including alienation of affections. Kentucky Bar Association v. Rankin, Ky., 862 S.W. 2d 894 (1993). First case in Kentucky adopting probation as part of a disciplinary sanction. Opinion also established probation conditions for a substance impaired attorney which the Kentucky Supreme Court and the KBA now refer to as a Rankin-like disposition. Greene v. Kentucky Bar Association, Ky., 904 S.W.2d 233 (1995). Attorney reinstatement case in which attorney was reinstated. Attorney had filed bankruptcy after disbarment for defrauding investors in a stock scheme. The former attorney also had previously suffered from a gambling abuse problem and alcoholism. Case represents a comprehensive review of attorney reinstatement law. Underhill v. Kentucky Bar Association, Ky., 937 S.W.2d 193 (1997). Attorney publically reprimanded for entering into business transaction with client without given client opportunity to seek advice from independent counsel or obtain written consent from client. Lookofsky v. Kentucky Bar Association, Ky., 982 S.W.2d 670 (1999). Attorney received 30days suspension for misrepresentation to clients regarding status of personal injury claim. This was the first case in which the attorney was automatically reinstated following the period of suspension. A major overhaul of Kentucky disciplinary procedure rules had taken effect October of McDonald v. Ethics Committee of the Kentucky Judiciary, Ky., S.W.3d 740 (1999). Irepresented a number of retired Judges who regularly served as special judges and sought to endorse political candidates. The Supreme Court vacated, on First Amendment free speech grounds, the Judicial Ethics Committee Opinion which prohibited such retired judges/special judges from endorsing political candidates.
5 Thomas v. Judicial Conduct Commission, Ky., 77 S.W.3d 578 (2002). I represented a judge before the Judicial Conduct Commission. The case was tried before the Commission, and appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, in a split decision, upheld the action of the Judicial Conduct Commission. Schoenbachler v. Renyard, Ky., 110 S.W.3d 776 (2003). I represented the husband in adivorce appeal. One of the main issues on appeal was whether the Trial Court could impute undocumented gambling income of the wife in determining child support or otherwise considered an economic circumstance of the wife. Haggard v. Kentucky Bar Association, Ky., 118 S.W.3d 589 (2003). I represented an attorney who had been charged with a crime. She had entered an Alford Plea as part of a felony pretrial diversion agreement. The Supreme Court, in an earlier Opinion, held that the temporary suspension provision of SCR applied. In the present case, the Court accepted the Motion for Consensual Resolution to resolve the underlying disciplinary case. Hines v. Kentucky Bar Association, 2003 W.L , rendered December 18, I represented an attorney who received a Public Reprimand. The attorney had allegedly violated RPC 1.15(a) by placing real property of his client in his name during the pendency of possible criminal proceedings against the client. The client had previously been declared a ward in a civil disability proceeding. PERSONAL: Married 27 years, Kathy Ostermiller One child, 15-year old daughter, Beth Ostermiller
