In re Bracamonte, Jose Arvizu, 2021PR00001
Disposition Suspension for a specified period
Effective Date of Disposition 07/15/2020
End Date of Disposition 08/29/2020
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. Bracamonte was licensed in Illinois in 1979 and in Arizona in 1988. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge of the Supreme Court of Arizona entered an order suspending him, on a reciprocal basis, for 45 days, effective retroactively to July 15, 2020, based upon an order of discipline from the Executive Office for Immigration Review of the United States Department of Justice. Mr. Bracamonte filed asylum applications without an indicated basis for asylum, he canceled asylum interviews or advised his clients not to appear for asylum interviews, and he failed to demonstrate a clear intention to pursue an asylum claim, causing prejudice to his client. The Supreme Court of Illinois imposed reciprocal discipline and suspended him for 45 days, nunc pro tunc, to July 15, 2020.
