Hans Poppe at his law firm's web site has posted the following blog entry entitled "Louisville Lawyer Suspended from Practice and Criminally Charged For Allegedly Stealing". The post references a Courier Journal story on the suspension and criminal charges and  Hans adds the following comment.  However, click on the story for his entire post and a link to the Courier Journal story referenced therein.

It has been my experience that lawyers that steal money from clients don't usually have any insurance or assets. This necessarily means that it will be very difficult for any of his victims to recovery in a legal malpractice lawsuit; however, that doesn't mean his victims should sit idly by, they should hire an attorney to investigate if insurance is available and what, if any, assets are available to reimburse the clients and their estates.
