In re Lewin, Robert Edward, 2023PR00042
(One of multiple dispositions on this case)
Disposition Probation
Effective Date of Disposition 12/10/2025
End Date of Disposition No disposition end date scheduled at this time. Probation continues until compliance with probationary condition(s).
Definition of Disposition Probation reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct, but also a finding that the lawyer may continue to practice law pursuant to specified conditions under ARDC supervision without posing a risk to the public, profession, or courts. As a result, the lawyer may continue to practice law during the period of probation, subject to the conditions imposed by the Court. Probation may be ordered for a specified period of time or for a specified period of time and until further order of the Court. Probation may be ordered in conjunction with a suspension, which may be stayed in whole or in part. A stay defers that portion of the suspension as long as the lawyer complies with probationary conditions. If the lawyer successfully completes probation, the lawyer is not actually suspended during any portion of the stayed suspension.
In re Lewin, Robert Edward, 2023PR00042
(One of multiple dispositions on this case)
Disposition Suspension for a specified period of time and until further order of the Court. Suspension stayed in part.
Effective Date of Disposition 12/10/2024
End Date of Disposition 12/10/2025
Definition of Disposition The Supreme Court may order that, following a suspension, a further period of suspension be stayed, typically in connection with an order of probation. A stay defers the further suspension period as long as the lawyer complies with probationary conditions. If the lawyer successfully completes probation, the lawyer is not actually suspended during any portion of the stayed suspension. Under those circumstances, the stayed suspension does not affect the authority of the lawyer to practice law and the lawyer may practice law during the stayed suspension. If the Court determines that the lawyer has failed to comply with probationary conditions, the Court may vacate the stay and may require that the lawyer actually serve the full suspension.
Case Summary Mr. Lewin, who was licensed in 1974, was suspended for two years and until further order of the Court, with the suspension stayed after one year by a one-year term of probation with conditions. He made harassing, offensive, inappropriate, and lewd comments to court personnel and female attorneys in the Will County courthouse. The suspension is effective on December 10, 2024.
In re Lewin, Robert Edward, 2021PR00074
Disposition Suspension for a specified period
Effective Date of Disposition 11/01/2022
End Date of Disposition 12/31/2022
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 Mr. Lewin, who was licensed in 1974, was suspended from the practice of law for 60 days. He communicated with a defendant in a criminal case whom he knew to be represented by counsel without consent of that defendant's lawyer. He also prepared and had that defendant sign a typewritten incriminating statement, which he then filed with a motion to reduce bond in his own client's case. Mr. Lewin also sought to represent that defendant even though the representation would be directly adverse to, and materially limited by, his responsibilities to another client in a related case. The suspension is effective on November 1, 2022.
