In re Bruckner, Lawrence Lloyd, 00CH0012
Disposition Suspension with condition(s)
Effective Date of Disposition 11/28/2001
End Date of Disposition 05/02/2002 Condition(s) satisfied.
Definition of Disposition A suspension with conditions reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct and that the misconduct warrants both an interruption of the lawyer's authority to practice law during the suspension period, and the imposition of conditions with which the lawyer must comply. The suspension may be for a fixed period of time or for a fixed period of time and until the lawyer complies with the conditions. The lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the suspension.
Case Summary Mr. Bruckner, who was licensed in 1974, was suspended for five and one-half months and until he successfully completes a professionalism seminar approved by the Administrator. On behalf of a client, he drafted a will and charitable testamentary trust that allowed him as trustee to improvidently invest the trust funds. This amounted to a conflict of interest that was not adequately disclosed to his client. He also pled guilty to the unlawful sale of a threatened species, freshwater clams or mussels, and he later tried to obstruct the disciplinary investigation into the conviction by submitting a guilty plea form that he had altered to reflect that he had pled “no contest.”
