Attorney David Goodson of Hinsdale, IL; ethical gremlin

The state of Illinois presented David M. Goodson with a law license in 1975 after he graduated from the Chicago-Kent College of Law.

The Disciplinary Commission found Dave guilty of the following misconduct.

• Neglected client’s personal injury matter
• After client filed ethics complaint, Dave entered into settlement agreement with the client limiting the client’s right to pursue the grievance

As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Illinois Supreme Court punished Dave by gifting him with a complimentary 3-month suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. August 2015), Dave practices at 313 West Fourth Street in Hinsdale, Illinois.
