In re Bryan, Susan Marie, 2024PR00007
Disposition Suspension for a specified period of time and until further order of the Court
Effective Date of Disposition 05/23/2024
End Date of Disposition
Definition of Disposition A suspension until further order of the Court 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 and until the lawyer has demonstrated rehabilitation, good character, and current knowledge of the law in a subsequent reinstatement case. The lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the suspension.
Case Summary Ms. Bryan was licensed in Illinois in 1992 and in Indiana in 2001. The Indiana Supreme Court suspended her for a period of not less than 180 days, without automatic reinstatement. She neglected to file a bankruptcy petition for a client, falsely told the client she had filed the petition, and did not return the client's file or refund any unearned fees. Ms. Bryan also produced to Indiana disciplinary authorities several letters that she claimed to have sent to her client, the contents of which were inconsistent with the written communications the client had received from her. The Illinois Supreme Court imposed reciprocal discipline and suspended her for six months and until further order of the Court. A suspension until further order of the Court is an indefinite suspension which requires the suspended lawyer to petition for reinstatement after the fixed period of suspension ends. Reinstatement is not automatic and must be allowed by the Supreme Court of Illinois following a hearing before the ARDC Hearing Board.
