The Disciplinary Commission found Johnny guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to answer a rule to show cause in pending lawsuit
• Negligence led to dismissal of client’s lawsuit
• Misrepresented [lied] about status of legal matter to client
• Engaged in the illegal practice of law in Missouri where he was licensed

As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Illinois Supreme Court punished Johnny by gifting him with a stayed complimentary censure.
