Description
This is an original disciplinary proceeding instituted by the Advisory Committee of the Missouri Bar pursuant to Rule 5 1 against respondent, Kenneth E. Waldron. A six-count information charged respondent with violation of the following Supreme Court Rules and Disciplinary Rules of Rule 4: Rules 1.5(a) and (b), 1.15(b), 1.16(d), 3.3(a)(1), 8.4(c); DR 1-102(A)(5); DR 2-111(A)(2); DR 7-102(A)(1) and (5); DR 7-104(A)(1); DR 9-102(B)(4). The information prays that respondent be disbarred from the practice of law. The Court appointed as Master to hear the proceedings the Honorable Flake L. McHaney, Judge of the 35th Judicial Circuit. Judge McHaney made findings and recommended that respondent be suspended from the practice of law for six months. The Master's findings, Conclusions and recommendations in a disciplinary proceeding are advisory in nature. In re Adams, 737 S.W.2d 714, 717 (Mo. banc 1987). This Court reviews the evidence de novo, determines independently the credibility, weight and value of the witnesses, and makes its own Conclusions of law. In re Murphy, 732 S.W.2d 895, 902 (Mo. banc 1987). After independent review of the record this Court agrees substantially with the Master's findings and recommendations.
