Hopefully someone has already, so that the State Bar will investigate such charges on the authority of the Arizona Supreme Court, which will then take a series of steps to take action on a practicing attorney in Arizona.

The next step once the complaint is filed is the investigation.  Kelly/Warner can also file a response with the Bar Association to the allegations made against them.  If there is probable cause to believe that Kelly/Warner violated the rules of the bar, then a hearing will be held with formal disciplinary proceedings filed. That’s the only way an attorney can get disbarred, by the bar council presenting evidence that supports the ethics violation claim.

An attorney who is disbarred loses their professional license to practice law and is banned from further practice. Suspension is more common that getting fully disbarred, but in the case of Attorney Aaron Kelly and his partner, Daniel Warner it remains to be seen what will happen to these two attorneys accused of very serious legal fraud.  

Sources confirmed that the investigation into Kelly/Warner is ongoing and that action is forthcoming in the near future.  It was also confirmed that the US Attorney's Office is now involved along with law enforcement in Arizona.

Breaking news to come on this case later today.  Stay tuned.
