In re Lutz, Lonnie L., 2013PR00083
Disposition Disbarment On Consent
Effective Date of Disposition 01/17/2014
End Date of Disposition No disposition end date scheduled at this time. Discipline continues until further order of the Court.
Definition of Disposition Disbarment on consent is imposed by the Supreme Court based upon the lawyer's filing of a motion to strike his or her name from the roll of attorneys in face of disciplinary charges that are set forth in the Administrator's Statement of Charges. The disbarred lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the disbarment on consent and may not return to the practice of law unless and until the lawyer has demonstrated his or her rehabilitation, good character, and current knowledge of the law in a subsequent reinstatement case, which may not be filed until three years after the effective date of the disbarment on consent.
Case Summary Mr. Lutz, who was licensed to practice in 1977, was disbarred on consent. He committed a criminal act, battery, when he inappropriately touched three different female clients when he was serving as their assigned public defender.
In re Lutz, Lonnie L., 06SH0081
Disposition Reprimand
Effective Date of Disposition 09/17/2008
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 reprimand 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, a reprimand does not affect the authority of the lawyer to continue to practice law. A reprimand is the only form of discipline that may be imposed by the Hearing Board or Review Board. All other discipline must be imposed by the Supreme Court.
Case Summary Mr. Lutz, who was licensed in 1977, was reprimanded for entering into an unreasonable fee and breaching a fiduciary duty to a client when he changed the nature of his representation and charged a fee to a client whom he had been appointed to represent as a public defender.
