Attorney Edwin Bush III of Des Plaines, IL; potty mouth bully

The state of Illinois provided Edwin F. Bush III with a law license in 2016 after he graduated from Northern Illinois University School of Law.

The Disciplinary Commission found Eddie guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

Eddy is accused of making the following statements to a judge during a hearing.

• “That’s why this is the clown car. You are a clown.”
• “You’re a child abuser. I mean, honestly, I should call DCFS on you because you’ve abused these children for two years.”
• “What you have done and what people like you do to people all over this country is a disgrace.”

Eddy is also accused of sending the following emails to opposing lawyers.

• “I strenuously object to you being a lowlife bottom-feeder, who suborns perjury, breaks the IRPC and extorts your own client.”
• “If it means your fat ass and your suborning perjury piece of shit daughter [who is one of the lawyers] have to get an order of protection against me, we will be in court … one way or the other.”
• “You are all child abusing filth, all of you. Bring it.”
• “When the justice system fails, I will have my recourse.”

The complaint also accuses Bush of making these statements to the judge during a hearing

• “That’s why this is the clown car. You are a clown.”
• “You’re a child abuser. I mean, honestly, I should call DCFS on you because you’ve abused these children for two years. What you have done and what people like you do to people all over this country is a disgrace.”

Eddy’s Defense

• “Domestic relations attorneys are well known amongst the bar and the public to be bottom-feeders.”
• “Domestic relations attorneys generally graduate from third- and fourth-tier law schools and will do almost anything for money, including suborn perjury from mentally ill parents.”
• “The judge was suffering from an undiagnosed brain tumor at the time, causing memory loss and erratic behavior.”
• “The judge just spent an entire hearing, recorded on video, eating peanuts and demeaning the 25-30 bystanders as the ‘peanut gallery.”

Eddy provided the following comments regarding the disciplinary commission

• “This commission is apparently lost and cannot distinguish between the cloak of authority and the cloak of corruption.”
• “Domestic relations courts and their surrounding cottage industries are predatory and resemble organized crime—seizing children from fit parents and then selling them back with unnecessary and unwanted services.”
• “That is none other than child trafficking.”

All that remains now is to see what punishment will be meted out to Eddy by the Illinois Supreme Court.

And lastly, it should be noted that according to the numerous emails I’ve received over the years, Eddy’s comments about “bottom feeding” divorce lawyers. Moreover, he is correct in that a good number of domestic relations judges are in the business of “dispensing with justice” as opposed to “dispending justice.”

As we speak (ca. August 2022), Eddy practices with the Law Offices of Edwin F. Bush III at 8974 North Western in Des Plaines, Illinois.

CAUTION: Eddie does not carry legal malpractice insurance.
