In 1994, Webb's legal license was temporarily suspended for failure to pay dues to the Kentucky Bar Association. It was reinstated in 1996.
In court documents included in the reinstatement order, two private bar association reprimands that are not typically released were included. Webb was privately admonished after a client complained that she didn't communicate well with her clients in coal company litigation. A second reprimand involved missing the deadline for appealing a client's case in 1994.
