Attorney Andrew Freund

Looks like Andrew Freund was suspended from practicing law in 2015-2018.

Some info I found while digging through the files of Andrew Freund,Sr:

In re Andrew Thomas Freund, 13PR0097
(One of multiple dispositions on this case)
Disposition: Suspension for a specified period
Effective Date of Disposition: October 13, 2015
End Date of Disposition: January 11, 2016
Definition of Disposition: Suspension for a specified period reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct and that the misconduct warrants an interruption of the lawyer’s authority to practice law during the suspension period, which is a fixed period of time identified in the Supreme Court’s order. The lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the suspension.
Information: Mr. Freund, who was licensed in 1984, was suspended for two years and until further order of the Court, with the suspension stayed after ninety days by a two-year period of conditional probation. While representing his client in a dissolution of marriage case, Mr. Freund was convicted of indirect criminal contempt after the judge found that he had violated court orders. Also, he appeared in court on behalf of a client after he had been removed from the Master Roll of Attorneys due to his failure to register or complete his mandatory continuing legal education requirements. The suspension is effective on October 13, 2015

In re Andrew Thomas Freund, 13PR0097
(One of multiple dispositions on this case)
Disposition: Further suspension stayed
Effective Date of Disposition: January 11, 2016
End Date of Disposition: January 11, 2016
Definition of Disposition: The Supreme Court may order that, following a suspension, a further period of suspension be stayed, typically in connection with an order of probation. A stay defers the further suspension period as long as the lawyer complies with probationary conditions. If the lawyer successfully completes probation, the lawyer is not actually suspended during any portion of the stayed suspension. Under those circumstances, the stayed suspension does not affect the authority of the lawyer to practice law and the lawyer may practice law during the stayed suspension. If the Court determines that the lawyer has failed to comply with probationary conditions, the Court may vacate the stay and may require that the lawyer actually serve the full suspension

In re Andrew Thomas Freund, 13PR0097
(One of multiple dispositions on this case)
Disposition: Probation
Effective Date of Disposition: January 11, 2016
End Date of Disposition: No disposition end date scheduled at this time. Probation continues until compliance with probationary condition(s).
Definition of Disposition: Probation reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct, but also a finding that the lawyer may continue to practice law pursuant to specified conditions under ARDC supervision without posing a risk to the public, profession, or courts. As a result, the lawyer may continue to practice law during the period of probation, subject to the conditions imposed by the Court. Probation may be ordered for a specified period of time or for a specified period of time and until further order of the Court. Probation may be ordered in conjunction with a suspension, which may be stayed in whole or in part. A stay defers that portion of the suspension as long as the lawyer complies with probationary conditions. If the lawyer successfully completes probation, the lawyer is not actually suspended during any portion of the stayed suspension
