In re Kanwal, Ravi, 2017PR00063
Disposition Disbarment
Effective Date of Disposition 09/22/2017
End Date of Disposition No disposition end date scheduled at this time. Discipline continues until further order of the Court.
Definition of Disposition Disbarment is a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct warranting the most serious sanction. The disbarred lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the disbarment and may not return to the practice of law unless and until he or she has demonstrated his or her rehabilitation, good character, and current knowledge of the law in a subsequent reinstatement case, which may not be filed until five years after the effective date of the disbarment.
Case Summary Mr. Kanwal was licensed in Colorado in 1992 and in Illinois in 1994. The Supreme Court of Colorado disbarred him for preparing immigration documents for a former client after he had been suspended from practicing law, and for failing to inform his client that he was no longer authorized to practice law. The Supreme Court of Illinois imposed reciprocal discipline and entered an order disbarring him in Illinois.

The lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the suspension.
Case Summary Mr. Kanwal was licensed in Colorado in 1992 and in Illinois in 1994. He was suspended in Colorado for one year and one day for filing over 4,700 applications seeking immigration benefits for clients before the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services and its predecessor agency at a time when he himself did not have lawful immigration status in the United States. The Illinois Supreme Court imposed reciprocal discipline and suspended him for one year and one day and until he is reinstated in Colorado. The suspension is effective on October 11, 2010.
