In re Jones, Theresa Lea, 07SH0018
Disposition Suspension for a specified period
Effective Date of Disposition 10/11/2010
End Date of Disposition 10/11/2011
Definition of Disposition Suspension for a specified period reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct and that the misconduct warrants an interruption of the lawyer's authority to practice law during the suspension period, which is a fixed period of time identified in the Supreme Court's order. The lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the suspension.
Case Summary Ms. Jones, who licensed in Illinois in 1989, was suspended for one year. She breached a fiduciary duty and engaged in a conflict of interests when she assisted a close friend in the purchase of farm property from elderly clients at significantly undervalued prices. She also failed to comply with her client's directive to offer a tenant farmer the first opportunity to purchase the farm. The suspension is effective on October 11, 2010.
