A former Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati associate and ex-partner at Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth has been disbarred in California after he was caught scheming with his now ex-wife to plant drugs in the car of a mother who volunteered at their son’s elementary school.
The attorney discipline action took effect on July 23 and comes after the lawyer, Kent Easter, was convicted and sent to prison in connection with the drug-planting plot. A jury found him guilty in September 2014 on a felony charge of false imprisonment, and he was initially sentenced to 180 days in prison, although he was reportedly released after serving 87 days.
