State ex rel. Oklahoma Bar Association, Complainant v. Robert L. Johnston, Respondent

Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court affirmed the four‑month suspension of attorney Robert L. Johnston, finding the record sufficient for de novo review and concluding that his misconduct—including a false statement to a tribunal, mishandling of client funds, and violations of competence, diligence, and communication rules—warrants discipline. Justice Kauer, dissenting in part, argued for a longer suspension due to the misrepresentation.
