Email from Devore Law offices on 11/12/2024. 

I guess we are still waiting on something from the appellate court?

Quote

Everyone, Our case is still at the appellate court. It will be several months before we have an answer to determine how we proceed.

Mr Devore might be in some hot water.

Got to keep it zipped up, you play with a client and you will get burned. 

 

“The evidence is uncontroverted that Respondent and R.C. engaged in a consensual sexual relationship, but even consensual sexual activity between an attorney and a client constitutes an impermissible conflict of interest because the attorney’s emotional involvement with the client creates a significant risk that the attorney’s independent professional judgment will be impaired.”

I can't read that one but they are over 21 not sure why they would go after him when we have Illinois judge accepting money from a trail lawyer during the case and they ignore it.

Because he challenged their authority and must be punished.

A few interesting things from the article...

 

Quote

“Although R.C. admitted to lying and changing her story about whether she actually believed she was Respondent’s client when their sexual relationship began in early June 2020, the contemporaneous actions of R.C. and Respondent speak louder than words,” according to the report.

So Devore was NOT the attorney of record for the person or the divorce she was going through?

Quote

The reports also states that the salon owner was going through a divorce and that DeVore “prepared the pleadings for her dissolution of marriage,” which he emailed to his law firm associate for filing on June 16, 2020. While the law firm associate was the attorney of record for the divorce, DeVore continued to pass information from R.C. to the other attorney, according to the report.

I don't suppose there is a way to get the list of names of attorneys that were a part of the review board?

[mab22]

Any chance someone can get the letters? 

Letters added to case on 05/05/2025?

I found the decision from the 5th District. No idea if there were any amended complaints.

The dissent is about 1/2 the PDF.

 

Quote

we affirm the circuit court’s dismissal of the first amended complaint with prejudice.
