Lesson No. 1: If You Get Disbarred, Stop Practicing Law

By Brendan McKenna

ADVERTISEMENTS
Timothy Eddy was a practicing attorney in Illinois until he was disbarred in 2002 on charges of embezzling from a debt collection service. However, according to prosecutors, for the next eight years Eddy continued practicing law under the name of another attorney -- someone Eddy had worked with at the collection service. Eddy was ultimately arrested on felony charges of practicing law under a false name, and subsequently pleaded guilty to impersonating an attorney in two counties.

Guest blogger Ruth Carter is a law student in her final semester at Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.
