Cincy Radio: Sometime Host Eric Deters Suspended As Attorney

Eric Deters, the controversial Northern Kentucky attorney and sometimes radio personality, was suspended again Friday by the Kentucky Supreme Court – and he doesn't care.

"I'm not practicing (law) in Kentucky and Ohio right now so those (suspensions) are meaningless," Deters told cincinatti.com.

Kentucky's high court suspended Deters for 60 days, 30 days each for ethical violations in two cases dating back years.

The court confirmed earlier findings by the Kentucky Bar Association finding Deters guilty of making "frivolous or unsubstantiated filings" in a 2006 civil case Deters filed against several Kenton County officials involving his jailed client. That led to a guilty finding against Deters. He was ordered to pay $29,381 to the opposing parties' attorneys.

In a 2011 case, an appeals court found Deters "knowingly and vexatiously" extended court proceedings with frivolous claims. He was ordered in that case to pay $12,765 in attorneys fees to the other side.

"The evidence of Deters' misconduct is rather clear" Friday's ruling noted.

Wrong, Deters said.

"Those are old issues which I already knew were in the pipeline," Deters said. "I'm going to appeal them to the U.S. Supreme Court."
