Attorney Scott L. Campbell Suspension Stayed Probation
Summary
The Supreme Court of Missouri found that attorney Scott L. Campbell (Missouri Bar #37086) violated Rule 4.84(g) of the Rules of Professional Conduct and ordered a six-month license suspension, which was stayed in favor of a six-month probation period under Rule 5.175. Campbell was also taxed $1,500 in fees payable to the Clerk of this Court to the credit of the Advisory Committee Fund. The probation conditions are attached as a separate filing. The order was entered on 21 April 2026.
Missouri attorneys subject to stayed-suspension probation orders should carefully review the attached probation conditions filed separately under Rule 5.175, as violations during the probation period can trigger activation of the underlying six-month suspension. The specific prohibition under Rule 4.84(g) — which governs fee arrangements and improper financial relationships — suggests that practitioners should audit their fee agreements and any arrangements involving non-lawyer participation in legal fees.

What changed
The Supreme Court of Missouri issued a final disciplinary order against attorney Scott L. Campbell, finding he violated Rule 4.84(g) of the Rules of Professional Conduct. The Court imposed a six-month license suspension, then stayed the suspension and substituted six months of supervised probation pursuant to Rule 5.175, with separate probation conditions attached to the order. A $1,500 fee under Rule 5.19(k) was also taxed to Campbell.
Missouri attorneys and legal professionals should note that a stayed suspension with probation is a substantive disciplinary outcome that leaves the license active but conditional. Any violation of probation conditions during the six-month period may result in activation of the underlying suspension. Practitioners should review their fee arrangements and client-related practices against Rule 4.84(g) to ensure ongoing compliance.
