Opinion
No. MR 19817.
January 2005.
Appeal from the Summary of Misconduct:
Mr. Reskin was licensed in Illinois in 1982 and in Kentucky in 1992. The Supreme Court of Kentucky censured him for failing to pursue a case after he told a client that he would do so and for not communicating with his client regarding the status of the case. The Illinois Supreme Court imposed reciprocal discipline and censured him.
Order of the Court:
The petition by the Administrator of the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission to impose reciprocal discipline pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 763 is allowed, and respondent James A. Reskin, who has been disciplined in the State of Kentucky, is censured in the State of Illinois.
The motion by respondent James A. Reskin for a hearing is denied.
