In re March, John Thomas, 03RC1512
Disposition Suspension for a specified period
Effective Date of Disposition 11/17/2003
End Date of Disposition 11/17/2005
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. March was licensed in Illinois in 1986 and in Tennessee in 1995. The Tennessee Supreme Court suspended him for two years for commingling approximately $24,000 in client funds in order to avoid sharing a portion of his fee with his employer. He also failed to file income tax returns for four years. The Illinois Supreme Court suspended him for two years as reciprocal discipline.
