The Arizona Supreme Court’s Attorney Discipline Probable Cause Committee has determined that there is “probable cause” to file complaints against Kari Lake’s former attorneys, Bryan Blehm and Kurt Olsen.
This comes following her unsuccessful bid for the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial race as a Republican, in which she filed multiple lawsuits challenging the election results—particularly those from Maricopa County—and sought to have them nullified.
Andrew Parker and Mark Finchem represented Lake in another case concerning voting machines used before the 2022 elections, which the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed in October 2023.

In response, Arizona Senate requested an examination with results showing these allegations were unsubstantiated.
Following review by an intake lawyer and referral for screening investigation, probable cause is now the third step in Arizona attorney disciplinary process. Formal hearings presided over by a judge or disciplinary agreements could be put into effect to resolve grievances.
On Monday, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), an advocate of former President Donald Trump’s America-centric policy agenda, endorsed…
