Summary

The Supreme Court of Missouri issued an order disbarring attorney Daniel Warren Thomann (MBE # 57054) as reciprocal discipline. The discipline was imposed following a one-year suspension by the Illinois Supreme Court, which itself stemmed from conduct violations before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit. The Missouri court ordered Thomann disbarred, his license canceled, and his name stricken from the state attorney roll, with $2,000 in fees taxed to Respondent.

What changed

The Missouri Supreme Court granted the Chief Disciplinary Counsel's motion for reciprocal discipline against Daniel Warren Thomann, resulting in immediate disbarment. The reciprocal discipline was based on Illinois Supreme Court suspension from Case No. 2024PR00052, which originated from the 7th Circuit case Reynoso v. Garlan, No. A200-779-379 (7th Cir. 2024). The Court found violations of Missouri Rules 4-1.3 (diligence), 4-3.2 (expediting litigation), 4-3.4(c) (fairness to opposing party), and 5.20(a) (reciprocal discipline). Respondent did not respond to the February 11, 2026 show cause order.

Any attorney licensed in Missouri should ensure their conduct in other jurisdictions would not trigger reciprocal discipline proceedings. Thomann must immediately cease practicing law in Missouri, comply fully with Rule 5.27 (Procedure Following a Disbarment or Suspension Order), and pay $2,000 in fees to the Clerk of Court per Rule 5.19(k). The case number is SC101518.

What to do next

  1. Immediately cease all law practice activities in Missouri
  2. Comply with Rule 5.27 requirements following disbarment (notify clients, return property, etc.)
  3. Pay $2,000 fee to Clerk of Court per Rule 5.19(k)

Penalties

Disbarment - license canceled and name stricken from Missouri attorney roll; $2,000 fee assessed
