(One of multiple dispositions on this case)
Disposition Probation
Effective Date of Disposition 11/17/2005
End Date of Disposition 04/17/2006 Probationary condition(s) satisfied.
Definition of Disposition Probation reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct, but also a finding that the lawyer may continue to practice law pursuant to specified conditions under ARDC supervision without posing a risk to the public, profession, or courts. As a result, the lawyer may continue to practice law during the period of probation, subject to the conditions imposed by the Court. Probation may be ordered for a specified period of time or for a specified period of time and until further order of the Court. Probation may be ordered in conjunction with a suspension, which may be stayed in whole or in part. A stay defers that portion of the suspension as long as the lawyer complies with probationary conditions. If the lawyer successfully completes probation, the lawyer is not actually suspended during any portion of the stayed suspension.
In re Fritzshall, Robert Sheldon, 02CH0089
(One of multiple dispositions on this case)
Disposition Suspension for a specified period. Suspension stayed in part.
Effective Date of Disposition 10/17/2005
End Date of Disposition 11/17/2005
Definition of Disposition The Supreme Court may order that, following a suspension, a further period of suspension be stayed, typically in connection with an order of probation. A stay defers the further suspension period as long as the lawyer complies with probationary conditions. If the lawyer successfully completes probation, the lawyer is not actually suspended during any portion of the stayed suspension. Under those circumstances, the stayed suspension does not affect the authority of the lawyer to practice law and the lawyer may practice law during the stayed suspension. If the Court determines that the lawyer has failed to comply with probationary conditions, the Court may vacate the stay and may require that the lawyer actually serve the full suspension.
Case Summary Mr. Fritzshall, who was licensed in 1954, was suspended for six months, with the suspension stayed after one month by probation subject to conditions. He mismanaged client funds, failed to pay medical lienholders in a timely manner, and misrepresented his authority to settle a matter to an administrative law judge. The suspension is effective on October 17, 2005.
