Eric Deters Suspended by the Kentucky Supreme Court for 60 days

I’ve been suspended by the Kentucky Supreme Court for 60 days. The Kentucky Bar Association had already suspended me an additional 52 days more than the last 60 day suspension. Therefore, I believe I had already been punished for these two issues—one 8 years old and the other 2 years old. One was an old Rule 11 sanction involving an LLC not being filed and I trusting my client it was filed. The other involved an allegation in a Complaint. I’ll accept my 60 day suspension and put it behind me. This will end my ordeal. So it will soon be over. I want to remind everyone I did a 112 day suspension between February and June last year and did not lose a client or miss a beat. Many of you were a client then. My partners will handle all lawyer work on the files the next 60 days. I’ll be back soon. Kentucky allows a lawyer under suspension to be a paralegal. I’ll be such in my office. I just can’t appear in Court and practice law. Please support me as you did last time. As much as I hate this, having been through it once before, I know I will survive. While I disagree with the decision, I’m not going to say anything negative about the decision. I will remind everyone these deal with lawsuit allegations. These do not include theft, crimes, legal malpractice, a client being harmed, moral turpitude or other dastardly deeds. There has not been and will not be further issue. Thanks again. I’m grateful. Email or text me any questions or concerns.

 

I expect Ohio will suspend me the same days as before. It’s a pain, but it’s the rule.

 

If you have a Kentucky trial the next 60 days you want me to handle, we will ask for a continuance. I believe I only have one. Otherwise, I’ll be back in time to try the case.

 

I love perspective. This is not disbarment. This is not cancer. This is not foreclosure. This is not bankruptcy. This is not death. This is not a loss of a limb. This is not divorce. This is not chemical dependency. This is not the loss of a loved one or dear family member. This is not a victim of violence. This is not a nervous breakdown. This is not mental illness. This is not living with a physical disability. I could go on and on. This is not the end of the world. Every day, countless people, including friends and clients of mine, deal with these things and they too stay strong.

 

Thank you for your loyalty.

No sympathy from those of us in Independence.

Does Deters do some kind of radio talk show or sports show in NKY?

Looks like the Bulldog has been banished to the dog house.

 

Why would I want a guy like this to represent me?

 

Anyone?

I think he stopped doing radio a couple of months ago.

He is not afraid to try a case in the media that is for sure. Sometimes, that's what clients want. He's not exactly representing 5/3rd or Proctor and Gamble.

From what I understand I think some people would be shocked at how many high profile cases Deters handles.

He may be an excellent lawyer; I don't know. What I do know is that with all the tactics he uses and bad publicity he gets, I would be afraid that hiring him would doom my case from the beginning.

Not excusing any complaint anybody has about him...

 

But, he also answers his cell phone and talks to his clients and potential clients without hesitation or reservation. He keeps in touch with them and works with them.

 

He does have a genuine compassion for the underdog and the "little guy" who is being knocked around. I think those of you that have never dealt with the judicial system would be shocked at things prosecutors do keep there conviction rate up. Even at the expense of people being innocent and/or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Many people do not have the resources to fight the prosecutors and he is willing to do so.

He should be getting used to this by now.

^ I 100% agree with uselessinfo. His involvement in the case involving the Dixie Heights teacher who was involved in a sexual relationship with her underage student was troubling, however.

I understand your feelings on that completely.

You wouldn't.

My personal experience with him was the complete opposite of all of this. But that is just my opinion.
