Kari Lake Files Bar Complaint Against Hobbs’ Attorney in Election Lawsuit over Statements Regarding Her U.S. Senate Race Announcement

Kari Lake filed a bar complaint against Katie Hobbs’ attorney, Alexis Danneman of Perkins Coie, on Monday over “false statements” Danneman may have made regarding Lake’s announcement that she was running for U.S. Senate. Danneman, who is representing Hobbs in Lake’s lawsuit challenging Hobbs’ gubernatorial win over Lake, sent Lake’s attorneys an email last week stating that she had violated the state’s resign to run laws and must drop her election challenge.

Lake’s bar complaint alleged that Danneman violated the Arizona Bar’s Ethical Rule 4.1, which states “in the course of representing a lenient a lawyer shall not knowingly… make a false statement of material fact or law to a third person.” Lake said in a press release, “Danneman’s email contained false statements of the law and was nothing more than a legal shakedown tactic.”

Lake expressed her skepticism in the complaint that the Arizona Bar would act on it.

“The State Bar has a reputation for being quick to target Republican attorneys while treating Democrat attorneys with kid gloves,” Lake said.

Multiple Republican election attorneys are currently under investigation by the Arizona Bar, including Lake’s attorneys, while complaints filed against activist Democratic attorneys usually end up quickly dismissed.
