He also neglected two civil cases and made misrepresentations to his clients about the status of those cases.
Order of the Court:
The motion by Ralph Elvin Williams to strike his name from the roll of attorneys licensed to practice law in Illinois pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 762(a) is allowed, effective immediately.
