Illinois regulators have recommended sanctioning a Chicago lawyer who defended his offensive comments toward opposing counsel by citing President Donald Trump.

The hearing board of the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission on April 29 recommended suspending Charles Cohn for at least three months and until he completes a professionalism seminar after he repeatedly insulted another lawyer in an insurance coverage case. Cohn is an attorney at Cohn & Cohn Law Offices, a two-lawyer firm with offices in Chicago and Waukegan, Illinois, that handles personal injury, workers’ compensation and Social Security disability claims.
