Supreme Court of Missouri Case # SC101170

In re: Joseph Ryan Riegerix MBE # 66372

The Chief Disciplinary Counsel filed an information and motion for reciprocal discipline pursuant to Rule 5.20 advising this Court that Respondent, Joseph Ryan Riegerix, was placed on suspension by the Supreme Court of Colorado in The People of the State of Colorado v. Joseph Ryan Riegerix, No. 23PDDJ054. Said discipline was the result of conduct that violated the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct, and said conduct is a violation of Rules 4-1.3, 4-1.4(a)(1), 4-1.4(b), 4-8.4(c), and 4-5.5(a) of the Missouri Rules of Professional Conduct; and On July 2, 2025, this Court issued a show cause order to Respondent to which Respondent did not respond. This Court finds that Respondent has violated the Missouri Rules of Professional Conduct and should be disciplined.

Now, therefore, it is ordered that the motion for reciprocal discipline is sustained, Respondent is hereby suspended indefinitely from the practice of law, and no petition for reinstatement will be entertained for a period of six months from the date of this order. The suspension is stayed, and Respondent is placed on probation for a period of one year from the date of this order in accordance with Rule 5.175. The conditions of probation are set forth in the term and conditions included in the Information and Motion for Reciprocal Discipline Pursuant to Rule 5.20 filed herein.

Fee pursuant to Rule 5.19(k) in the amount of $1,500.00 payable to the Clerk of this Court to the credit of the Advisory Committee Fund taxed to Respondent.

Costs taxed to Respondent.
