Following his guilty plea to tax fraud in April, former casino executive and state lawmaker John Keeler has been suspended from the practice of law in Indiana.

The Indiana Supreme Court issued an order of interim suspension on June 9 immediately suspending Keeler after he was found guilty of causing the filing of a false tax return.

Keeler is prohibited from practicing law in the Hoosier State and cannot represent clients or maintain a presence in an office where the practice of law is conducted. Also, among other conditions, he must file notice of his suspension in every pending matter in which he has filed an appearance and must notify his clients.
