Attorney Todd Sivia of Edwardsville, IL; ethical ogre

The state of Illinois presented Todd William Sivia with a law license in 2005 after he graduated from St. Louis University School of Law.

The Office of Disciplinary Commission found Todd guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Failed to communicate with client
• Engaged in a conflict of interest
• Failed to explain a matter to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the client to make informed decisions regarding the representation
• Failed to discuss and obtain informed consent from his client regarding conflicts of interest prior to entering his appearance on the client’s behalf

All that remains now is to see what if any punishment is meted out to Todd by the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Illinois Supreme Court.

And lastly, as one would suspect, Todd does not mention the aforementioned misconduct on his website at www.sivialaw.com. Apparently, Todd and his firm chose to conceal this relevant information from prospective clients for the purpose of not limiting their future victim pool.

As we speak (ca. September 2021), Todd practices his brand of law with Sivia Law LLC at 217 South Main Street in Edwardsville, Illinois.
