Opinion
MR 19463.
September 2004.
Summary of Misconduct:
Mr. Carlson, who was licensed in 1986, was disbarred on consent. He prepared a fraudulent court order in a probate estate reciting that the administrator of the estate was to disburse funds to Mr. Carlson to be held in trust, and affixed a judge's signature to the order without the judge's consent. He then used the order to deceive the estate administrator into giving him approximately $32,000, which he used for his own purposes.
Order of the Court:
The motion by Dale Alan Carlson 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.
