IN SUPREME COURT
KENTUCKY BAR ASSOCIATION
RESPONDENT
OPINION AND ORDER
Following Susan 0 . Phillips's application for restoration pursuant to SCR
3 .500(2), the Board of Governors of the Kentucky Bar Association has
unanimously recommended this Court restore Phillips's license to practice law
in this Commonwealth . Agreeing with the Board that Phillips has satisfied the
requirements for restoration, we adopt the Board's recommendation and order
Phillips's membership in the Kentucky Bar Association be restored .
Phillips, whose KBA member number is 84528 and whose bar roster
address is 1010 Monarch Street, Suite 250, Lexington, Kentucky 40513, was
admitted to the practice of law in Kentucky in October 1992 . On February 26,
2001, she withdrew pursuant to SCR 3.480 . She maintains a license in West
Virginia, where she works as an attorney for the law firm of Steptoe and
Johnson, PLLC . On May 3, 2010, Phillips filed with . the Clerk of this Court an
application for restoration of membership pursuant to SCR 3 .500(2), which
permits a former member who has withdrawn, and whose suspension has
prevailed for five or more years, to apply for restoration . Pursuant to the
requirements in SCR 3 .500(2), Phillips included with her application a check
for the required fee and a CLE certification showing she completed the requisite
number of CLE credits . Phillips passed the July 2010 Reinstatement Bar
Examination, was approved by the Character and Fitness Committee, has no
disciplinary matters pending against her, and has not been the subject of any
claims against the Client Security Fund . Further, Phillips has already paid the
costs associated with this proceeding in the amount of $219 .61 .
Having reviewed the Board's recommendation, this Court agrees Phillips
has satisfied the requirements of SCR 3 .500(2) and is deserving of restoration
to the practice of law.
Therefore, it is hereby ORDERED that, pursuant to SCR 3 .500(2), Susan
O. Phillips's license to practice law in this Commonwealth is restored .
All sitting . All concur
