Attorney Ronald Duebbert of Belleville, IL; congenital liar

The state of Illinois presented Ronald Richard Duebbert with a law license in 1990 after he graduated from the University of Chicago Law School.

The Illinois Registration and Disciplinary Commission has charged Ronnie with the following misconduct, all of which took place while he was campaigning for a judgeship.

Knowingly lied that his opponent was negligent in his supervision of a public defender in a murder case

Intentionally lied in campaign mailer sent to nearly 100,000 people

• Ronnie had the chutzpah to argue in his defense that he lies were protected free speech under the First Amendment. The Disciplinary Commission scoffed at Ronnie’s asinine argument and recommended to the Supreme Court of Illinois that he be censured.
• Purposely misrepresented ruling by Illinois Court of Appeals
• Deliberately and intentionally changed language in appellate court ruling to create false impression regarding his electoral opponent

It is painfully clear that Ronnie would do or say anything to secure a judicial position that paid $178,000 a year. Obviously, Ronnie wasn’t earning anything near that amount before he decided to spew forth an assortment of lies against his opponent in his losing effort to gain a judgeship.

As of late July 2015, the Illinois Supreme Court has yet to decide on what if any punishment it will mete out to Ronnie the Liar.

As we speak (August 2015), Ronnie practices with the Duebbert Law Office PC at 23 Public Square in Belleville, Illinois.
