The state of California provided Steven Kop with a law license in 1980 after he graduated from the University of Maryland Law School.

The California Bar Court found Stevie guilty of the following misconduct.

• Misused client trust account funds for personal expenses
• Commingled client funds with personal funds
• Deposited client settlement checks into personal account
• Used client settlement funds to pay personal expenses (crook)

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Calfiornia State Bar Court punished Stevie by gifting him with a complimentary stayed 2-year suspension of his law license.

In truth, the comedians sitting on the State Bar Court didn’t mete out any meaningful punishment to Stevie.

• Failed to protect his client’s interests
• Improperly withdrew from three client matters
• Failed to file client bankruptcy petition despite being paid $5,300
• Failed to refund unearned fees (thief)
• Client’s forced to obtain $5,058 court judgment because of Stevie’s refusal to refund unearned fees

As we speak (ca. October 2017), Stevie practices at 8630 East Rosewood Street in Tucson, Arizona.
