Shapiro and Leonard J. Schrager were present. In the absence of the non-lawyer member of the panel, the parties stipulated to having the case heard and determined by a two-member panel. Sarah R. Masarachia represented the Administrator of the ARDC and Respondent was represented by Stuart P. Krauskopf.
COMPLAINT AND ANSWER
On May 8, 2001 the Administrator filed a one-count complaint against Respondent Joel Alan Brodsky alleging that he forged a signature on bank forms in order to withdraw client funds from the bank, falsely endorsed a cashier's check issued by the bank, failed to deposit the proceeds in a separate identifiable trust account and kept the funds for his own purposes. He was charged with the following misconduct:
conversion;
failure to deposit and maintain client funds in a separate identifiable trust account in violation of Rule 1.15(a) and 1.15(d) of the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct;
committing a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer by committing the

crime of forgery in violation of 720 ILCS 5/17-3 in violation of Rule 8.4(a)(3);
conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation in violation of Rule 8.4(a)(4);
conduct which tends to defeat the administration of justice or bring the courts or legal profession into disrepute in violation of Supreme Court Rule 771.
In his answer to the complaint, Respondent admitted signing another person's name to bank forms and to a check but affirmatively stated that he believed his actions were necessary to protect and preserve the proceeds of an estate. He further admitted that he failed to deposit client money into a separate and identifiable trust fund account but maintained that he did keep the money separate from other client accounts and did not commingle the money. Respondent denied keeping any money for his own purposes and denied each charge of misconduct.
