In re Johnson, Mark Douglas, 2013PR00034
Disposition Suspension with condition(s)
Effective Date of Disposition 06/08/2016
End Date of Disposition 06/08/2017 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 Mr. Johnson, who was licensed in 1993, was suspended for one year and until he successfully completes the ARDC Professionalism Seminar. While representing a client in a criminal case, he assisted the client in engaging in the crimes of criminal trespass to real property, criminal trespass to residence, and theft, when they went to property owned by another person and removed various items. While doing so, he purposefully deceived the Warren County State’s Attorney, a Warren County Sherriff’s Deputy, and two members of the public into believing that he and his client had legal authority to enter the property and remove personal items. Months later, Mr. Johnson and his client returned to the property and Mr. Johnson again assisted his client in engaging in the crimes of criminal trespass to real property and theft. The suspension is effective on June 8, 2016.
