Brainerd Attorney Suspended

The Minnesota Supreme Court suspended Brainerd Attorney Kevin Strunk for 90 days for professional misconduct. The Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility Martin Cole said Strunk failed to competently handle a client's appeal which resulted in the appeal being dismissed. Strunk can appeal for reinstatement after 60 days of his suspension, in mid-April. Director Cole told the Brainerd Dispatch that Strunk will have to appeal to a three-member panel which will make a recommendation to the Court. Strunk also had to pay $900 and is to complete the public responsibility portion of the state bar exam in one year.
