Discipline Notice:
Description: Tacoma lawyer Michael McKean (WSBA No. 4438, admitted October 19, 1971) was suspended for 60 days, effective October 17, 1997, pursuant to stipulation for discipline by order of the Washington Supreme Court. The discipline is based upon McKean’s misconduct in gaining access to his then wife’s savings account, transferring funds to her checking account, securing a check for the account, completing the check for $6,000, forging her signature, and depositing the check into his own account, all without any authority.
McKean was represented by Bryan Hershmann of Tacoma. The Bar Association was represented by Disciplinary Counsel Christopher Sutton.
