Attorney Peter Naylor of Springfield, IL; lying loser

The state of Illinois provided Peter E. Naylor with a law license in 1982 after he graduated from St. Louis University School of Law.

The Illinois Registration and Disciplinary Commission found Pete guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• In a medical malpractice action, he falsely stated to his clients, the court, and others that the case had settled
• In a medical products liability action, he falsely told his client that the case had settled and presented her with a release to sign
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty, or misrepresentation
• Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
• Engaged in conduct adversely reflecting on fitness to practice

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the Patron Saints for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Illinois Supreme punished Pete by gifting him with a complimentary 1-year suspension of his law license.
