Ethical complaints against attorneys representing Kari Lake dismissed

By Caitlin Sievers | AZ Mirror

Two attorneys who represented Kari Lake in a bid to get tabulators banned from the 2022 election will not face discipline for their claims in that case, a disciplinary panel ordered on Monday. 

Presiding Disciplinary Judge Margaret Downie authored the ruling of a three-member panel which dismissed the complaints. The dismissal follows a three-day hearing in June. 

The panel found that the Arizona State Bar — which brought the complaints — “did not prove by clear and convincing evidence” that attorneys Kurt Olsen and Andrew Parker engaged in conduct “involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation” or that their conduct was prejudicial to the administration of justice. 

Olsen, a Washington, D.C., employment attorney, and Parker, a Minnesota attorney, represented Lake and then-candidate for Arizona Secretary of State Mark Finchem in a spring 2022 lawsuit aimed at barring Maricopa and Pima counties from using electronic tabulators to count ballots in the November 2022 election.
