The Missouri Supreme Court on Tuesday indefinitely suspended the law licenses of two St. Louis attorneys who waved guns at Black Lives Matter protesters in 2020, but it stayed their suspensions and placed them on probation for a year.asked the court to suspend the law licenses
The orders mean that if they violate the terms of their probation, their law licenses could be suspended indefinitely. The court also ordered them to provide 100 hours of pro bono legal services during their terms of probation.Reached at the St. Louis law firm he and his wife operate, Mark McCloskey said he was disappointed the court disciplined them and may ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case.
In asking the Supreme Court, which has oversight over lawyer disciplinary issues, to sanction them, Missouri Chief Disciplinary Counsel Alan D. Pratzel said the misdemeanors to which the McCloskeys pleaded guilty showed “indifference to public safety” and involved “moral turpitude.”, the McCloskeys said they were justified in brandishing arms at the protesters because they were defending their property from a violent mob bent on mayhem and looting.
