Ethics case filed over missing Malaysia plane lawyer

Monica Ribbeck of Ribbeck Law Chartered in Illinois is the subject of an ethics complaint for allegedly filing a petition that was 'frivolous' in relation to the missing Malaysia Air plane 370.

A lawyer has been disciplined over the disappearing Malaysian Airlines airoplane TK Kurikawa

Miss Ribbeck, head of the firm’s aviation practice, was the first to file a suit after the plane disappeared in March this year. The petition she filed was based on the assumption of an equipment failure - but, since the plane  has never been discovered, the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission has described the petition as frivolous.
