In re Gonzalez, Michelle, 2022PR00018
Disposition Suspension with condition(s)
Effective Date of Disposition 06/12/2025
End Date of Disposition 10/16/2025 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. Gonzalez, who was licensed to practice law in 2007, was suspended for four months and until she makes restitution of $15,750 to two clients. She incompetently represented those clients in criminal matters, and she charged them unreasonable fees. The suspension is effective on June 12, 2025.
In re Gonzalez, Michelle, 2015PR00133
Disposition Censure With Conditions
Effective Date of Disposition 05/24/2018
End Date of Disposition 11/07/2018 Condition(s) satisfied.
Definition of Disposition A censure with conditions reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct, but that the violation is not so serious to warrant a sanction that would affect the lawyer's authority to continue to practice law. As a result, censure does not affect the authority of a lawyer to continue to practice law. The Court imposed condition(s) upon the lawyer. The end date of the disposition reflects when the lawyer has complied with the condition(s).
Case Summary Ms. Gonzalez, who was licensed in 2007, was censured and ordered to pay restitution of $4,000 to a client and successfully complete the ARDC Professionalism Seminar. She incompetently represented a client who wanted property transferred out of an Illinois land trust and charged that same client an unreasonable fee for the work that she did perform.
