In re Kloak, Richard C., 95CH0558
Disposition Reinstated With Conditions
Effective Date of Disposition 09/24/1997
End Date of Disposition 10/19/1999 Condition(s) satisfied.
Definition of Disposition Reinstatement reflects the determination of the Supreme Court that a lawyer who was disbarred, disbarred on consent or suspended until further order of the Supreme Court has demonstrated in a subsequent reinstatement case his or her rehabilitation, good character, and current knowledge of the law to be reinstated, subject to conditions that address issue(s) that arose in the reinstatement case. An order of reinstatement with conditions reinstates the lawyer's license to practice law, but imposes conditions upon the lawyer's practice of law. Upon the determination that the petitioner has established compliance with conditions, the conditions are terminated. If the petitioner does not comply with the conditions, the Court may deny the reinstatement petition.
In re Kloak, Richard C., 90CH0395
Disposition Suspension for a specified period of time and until further order of the Court
Effective Date of Disposition 03/19/1993
End Date of Disposition 10/19/1999
Definition of Disposition A suspension until further order of the Court 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 and until the lawyer has demonstrated rehabilitation, good character, and current knowledge of the law in a subsequent reinstatement case. The lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the suspension.

Disposition Censure
Effective Date of Disposition 01/24/1989
End Date of Disposition Not Applicable. Censures and reprimands do not affect the authority of the lawyer to continue to practice law.
Definition of Disposition A censure reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct, but that the violation is not so serious to warrant a sanction that would affect the lawyer’s authority to continue to practice law. As a result, censure does not affect the authority of a lawyer to continue to practice law.
