Supreme Court Revokes Maysville Attorney's License

  • {Frankfort, Kentucky}...Thursday, the Kentucky Supreme Court permanently revoked the law license of Margaret Jackson-Rigg of Maysville, an attorney with a history of disciplinary problems. The high court found that, while suspended from legal practice, Jackson-Rigg told a client she was negotiating a settlement with the chain Big Lots, but, in fact, she had not contacted the company. The court also found that Jackson-Rigg failed to dispose of her legal files after being evicted from her law office in May 2010. The court had suspended Jackson-Rigg three times since 2008, once for failing to pay bar dues, once for pleading guilty in 2010 to failing to file state income taxes and once for charging an unreasonable fee.
