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 on consent is imposed by the Supreme Court based upon the lawyer's filing of a motion to strike his or her name from the roll of attorneys in face of disciplinary charges that are set forth in the Administrator's Statement of Charges. The disbarred lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the disbarment on consent and may not return to the practice of law unless and until the lawyer 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 three years after the effective date of the disbarment on consent.
Case Summary Ms. Mendoza, who was licensed in Illinois in 2001 and suspended on an interim basis on April 25, 2017, was disbarred on consent for misappropriating at least $225,106.25 in funds belonging to three separate clients, fabricating a document purporting to show that one client’s funds had been paid to a mortgage lender, and making misrepresentations to a client and neglecting that client’s legal matter.
