Attorney Michael Sweeney of Chicago; ethical elf

The state of Illinois presented Michael Edward Sweeney with a law license in 1990

Disciplinary Counsel found Mike guilty of the following misconduct.

• Mismanaged $42,720 in client funds
• Failed to safeguard funds of 2 clients by holding their settlement checks in his desk drawer 

As a consequence of his misconduct, the Patron Saints for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Illinois Supreme Court punished Mike by gifting him with a complimentary stayed 4-month suspension of his law license.

In truth, the comedians sitting on the Illinois Supreme Court didn’t mete out any meaningful punishment to Mike

As we speak (ca. July 2015), Mike practices at 221 North LaSalle Street in Chicago, Illinois.

Caution: Mike is not covered by legal malpractice insurance
