In re Belz, Mark , 08RC1510
Disposition Suspension with condition(s)
Effective Date of Disposition 12/09/2008
End Date of Disposition
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. Belz was licensed in Illinois in 2001 and in Missouri in 1976. He was suspended in Missouri for three years for withdrawing over $150,000 from his law firm client trust account to pay personal debts and operating costs of the law firm. He also paid fees to his law firm from his client trust account in excess of fees earned and withdrew his attorney’s fees in contingent fee matters before settlement proceeds were collected. The Illinois Supreme Court imposed reciprocal and suspended him for three years and until he is reinstated in Missouri. The suspension is effective on December 9, 2008.
