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

• Criminally convicted of disorderly conduct
• Knowingly made a false state of fact or law to a tribunal
• Knowingly failed to correct false statement of material fact/law previously made to tribunal
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Illinois Supreme Court punished Jeff by gifting him with a complimentary 5-month suspension of his law license.
