LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A western Nebraska attorney accused of lying to clients about filing court documents and providing them with false court filings has been disbarred.

The Nebraska Supreme Court ordered the disbarment of Joseph Kishiyama on Friday after he voluntarily surrendered his law license last month.

Kishiyama, who was admitted to the Nebraska bar in 2008, surrendered his license after the Scottsbluff law firm at which he had worked sent a grievance letter in October outlining the complaints against Kishiyama to the Nebraska Counsel for Discipline. The letter said Kishiyama had violated several of the Nebraska rules of professional conduct.

On Friday, the state’s high court found that Kishiyama freely, knowingly and voluntarily declined to contest the allegations against him.
