In re Carlson, Nancy Lee, 2013PR00045
Disposition Suspension with condition(s)
Effective Date of Disposition 10/13/2017
End Date of Disposition 04/13/2018 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 Ms. Carlson, who was licensed in 1985, was suspended from the practice of law for six months and until she completes an ARDC Professionalism Seminar. She failed to file an answer or respond to a motion for default in a couple’s foreclosure matter, which led to the court entering a default judgment against the couple. She also intentionally assisted a group of clients in accessing funds by having the funds diverted through her trust account, to avoid court orders designed to preserve those funds. The suspension is effective on October 13, 2017.
