Remember that waste of breath, Jay Robert Grodner? In case you forgot, that is the Chicago lawyer who intentionally keyed the side of United States Marine Corps Sergeant Michael McNulty's car because of its Marine Corps sticker. At the time, Lower-Than-Pond-Scum Grodner told Sgt. McNulty, "Just because you are in the military you don't run the roost." McNulty should be given a medal in pateience as he did not deck the guy.
Well, the Illinois bar's discipline committee recommendedthat Not-Worth-My-Dog's-Crap Grodner be suspended for a year.
That's it?
Here's what else Roadkill-Smells-Less-Than Grodner did:
At the time he retained Respondent (Grodner), Mr. Studzinski informed him of the July 26, 2004 order and the October 7, 2004 court date. He also informed Respondent that, according to the legend on the back of the order, any motion to vacate had to be filed within 20 days, which would have been on or before August 15, 2004. As of August 15, 2004, Respondent had not filed any motion to vacate the July 26, 2004 order.
Mr. Studzinski testified that when he retained Respondent, he specifically discussed the deadline set forth in the order and expressed his concern to Respondent about the need to get the motion challenging the order filed on time. According to Mr. Studzinski, Respondent advised him not to worry about it and told him that he knew the judge very well and that the time limit did not really apply as long as they worked something out.
Guess who got his motion denied for timeliness?
Somedays I hate lawyers . . .

I read just about the whole thing (skimming a few parts that were primarily citing precedent).
I'm no doctor, and I am not qualified to diagnose him, but it sounds to me like some sort of mental health issue. If I'm right, I hope he gets help.
I also can't help hoping that the public is protected from his lawyering for much more than a year.
