In re Kanarish, Shelby, 2021PR00014
Disposition Suspension with condition(s)
Effective Date of Disposition 06/08/2021
End Date of Disposition
Definition of Disposition A suspension with conditions reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct and that the misconduct warrants both an interruption of the lawyer's authority to practice law during the suspension period, and the imposition of conditions with which the lawyer must comply. The suspension may be for a fixed period of time or for a fixed period of time and until the lawyer complies with the conditions. The lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the suspension.
Case Summary Mr. Kanarish was licensed in Illinois in 1971 and in Arizona in 2011. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge of the Supreme Court of Arizona suspended him for six months and one day, and required that, following a reinstatement hearing, he would be subject to probation and additional terms. Over the course of several months after the settlement of a personal injury matter, Mr. Kanarish made false statements about his purported fees to a doctor who had requested payment for services he had provided to Mr. Kanarish's clients. He also knowingly made a false statement to the Arizona disciplinary authority regarding his purported fees. The Supreme Court of Illinois imposed reciprocal discipline and suspended him for six months and until he is reinstated to the practice of law in Arizona. The suspension is effective on June 8, 2021.
