Edgar Steele disbarred in Washington
Idaho attorney Edgar Steele won’t be representing any Washington clients from his jail cell.
The Washington Supreme Court suspended Steele Wednesday from practicing in the state pending disciplinary proceedings that could result in disbarment.
Steele faces at least 30 years in a federal prison for his May 5 conviction on four charges related to his attempt to have another man kill his wife and mother-in-law.
He is in the federal custody awaiting sentencing in August.
Until he commissioned a bogus hitman, Steele was best known for his unsuccessful defense of Aryan Nations founder Richard Butler.
Steele's lawyer, Robert McAlister, was recently disbarred in Colorado.
