From the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission:
In re Zangara, Frank John, 2024 PR00028
| Disposition | Suspension for a specified period. Suspension stayed in part. |
| Effective Date of Disposition | 12/10/2024 |
| End Date of Disposition | 04/10/2025 Scheduled termination date. Note that termination date is subject to modification by the Supreme Court. |
| 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. |
| Case Summary | Mr. Zangara, who was licensed in 1985, was suspended for one year, with the suspension stayed after four months by a two-year period of probation with conditions. He misappropriated more than $74,000 from his client trust account that he should have been holding on behalf of clients and others for real estate escrows and earnest money deposits. The suspension is effective on December 10, 2024. |
