Kenneth Blackwell
Docket No. 20-BD-019
Decisions
Board Report and Orders (July 27, 2022)
Summary: The Board on Professional Responsibility recommended that the D.C. Court of Appeals suspend Blackwell for six months, with all but 60 days stayed in favor of three years of probation with conditions. This matter arises out of Blackwell’s failure to pay court-ordered child support and his responses to Disciplinary Counsel’s investigative inquiries. Blackwell’s failure to pay child support violated Rule 3.4(c) (knowingly disobeying the obligations under the rules of a tribunal), and his knowingly false statements to Disciplinary Counsel violated Rule 8.1(a).
Hearing Committee Report (September 3, 2021)
