Supreme Court of Missouri Case # SC101105

The Chief Disciplinary Counsel has filed an information and motion for interim suspension pursuant to Rule 5.24 alleging there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate probable cause that Respondent, John Nelson Wiles, II, is guilty of multiple instances of professional misconduct, is unable to competently represent the interests of his clients, and poses a substantial threat of irreparable harm to the public.

This Court, now being fully advised of and concerning the premises, finds probable cause exists that Respondent is guilty of multiple instances of professional misconduct, is unable to competently represent the interests of his clients, and poses a substantial threat of irreparable harm to the public.

It is further ordered that Respondent comply in all respects with Rule 5.27 – Procedure Following a Disbarment or Suspension Order.
