Kansas Supreme Court disbars Lawrence attorney Baker
The Kansas Supreme Court on Friday disbarred Lawrence attorney Douglas Lee Baker based on numerous misrepresentations and omissions involving 36 investors in six states. He raised about 2.6 million dollars from gold mining securities and squandered all investor funds with no return. Baker, practicing since 1975, had sought probation but the court rejected it citing violations of professional conduct rules. He previously served in multiple public offices including city attorney in 1976.
