Attorney James Rollins of Chicago; scamming fraudster

The state of Illinois presented James Thomas Rollins with a law license in 2007 after he graduated from Valparaiso University School of Law. Jimmy also received a license to practice in Iowa and Missouri in 2017.

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

• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty, or misrepresentation
• Jimmy acted dishonestly by creating fake documents that he submitted to his law firm
• Jimmy falsely represented to his firm that he had paid business expenses that he had not paid, in an attempt to defraud the law firm of $63,000
• Fake documents created by Jimmy included invoices, a bank statement, and checks
• Jimmy undermined the integrity of the legal profession, and damaged the public’s confidence in attorneys
• Attorneys
• Cheating a law firm, like cheating a client, constitutes egregious misconduct
• Jimmy falsely denied any wrongdoing, and then fraudulently created two phony checks and a fictitious bank statement in order to mislead the law firm, conceal his wrongdoing, and continue the fraud
• Jimmy’s wrongdoing placed the firm in significant jeopardy because the firm could have
• lost clients, and could have even been forced to close, because of the damage to its reputation
• Attempted to conceal his egregious misconduct from his law firm

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Illinois Supreme Court punished Jimmy by gifting him with a complimentary 5-month suspension of his law license.    

And lastly, as one would suspect, Jimmy does not mention the misconduct alluded to above on his website at www.ksully.com.  Apparently, he chose to conceal this relevant information from prospective clients for the purpose of not limiting his future victim pool.

As we speak (ca. May 2023), Jimmy practices his so-called brand of law with Sullivan & Associates LLC at

120 South LaSalle Street in Chicago, Illinois.
