Attorney Karin Walin of Berwyn, IL; ethical gremlin

The state of Illinois presented Karen Walin with a law license in 1986.

The Illinois Registration and Disciplinary Commission found Karin guilty of the following misconduct.

In one matter, Karin engaged in a conflict of interest by drafting a trust agreement for her client in which she was named a beneficiary. Karin also represented that same client in the sale of a townhouse to an employee of her firm, and prepared a purchase agreement and installment note under terms favorable to the employee.

As a consequence of her misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Illinois Supreme Court punished Karin by gifting her with a complimentary 60-day suspension of her law license.

As we speak (April 2016), Karin practices with Chicago Legal LLC & Law Office at 3833 South Harlem Avenue in Berwyn, Illinois.
