CONSUMER ALERT

The State Bar has been informed that this attorney has been the subject of an interim action rendering them ineligible to practice in another jurisdiction pending completion of a disciplinary proceeding in that other jurisdiction. The interim action is a suspension from practice of law in the Northern District of Illinois imposed by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in an order issued March 24, 2023 in Case No. 23-D-14. You may read the order imposing the interim action here: https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/attorneydiscipline.aspx. For more information, contact the disciplinary authorities in the jurisdiction where the disciplinary proceeding is pending. The State Bar posts consumer alerts online when lawyers are the subject of certain disciplinary actions in other jurisdictions. Anyone who believes they have been the victim of attorney misconduct is urged to file a complaint with the State Bar.

DISCLAIMER: The pendency of disciplinary proceedings in another jurisdiction does not constitute a finding of professional misconduct, and interim ineligibility to practice in another jurisdiction is based only on the specific findings required by that jurisdiction to take interim action. An attorney charged with professional misconduct in another jurisdiction is presumed innocent in that other jurisdiction until the other jurisdiction enters a final order for discipline. After another jurisdiction enters a final order for discipline, an attorney may be subject to discipline in California based on that final order for discipline only after the filing in State Bar Court of a notice of disciplinary charges and the completion of proceedings pursuant to Business and Professions Code section 6049.1.
