(AP) — An attorney has surrendered his license to practice law in Nebraska after he was convicted of theft charges in Kansas.
The Nebraska Supreme Court said in a ruling Friday that it has disbarred Kevin K. Stephenson, of Glenwood Springs, Colo.
Stephenson was convicted in February of two counts of theft in Greeley County, Kan., for his role in representing an estate. He was sentenced to 16 months in prison and 24 months of post-release supervision, according to the ruling. He was also ordered to pay $117,400 to the estate.
The court says Stephenson self-reported his conviction to the Nebraska Supreme Court’s counsel for discipline, and did not contest the allegations.
Stephenson was admitted to practice law in Nebraska in October 2006.
