Lawyer Accused Of Falsifying Community Service Documents For Client

WHEATON, IL — A lawyer was turned herself in at the DuPage County Jail in late August following accusations that she falsified community service hours on documents for her client. Devin Luster, 30, is accused of delivering documents to the DuPage County Circuit Court Clerk's Office that falsely showed a client had completed community service hours.

She was charged with six counts of felony forgery.

An indictment asserts that Luster "with the intent to defraud, knowingly delivered to the DuPage County Circuit Court Clerk's Office a false document apparently capable of defrauding another, being a volunteer community service documentation form dated December 16, 2024, that indicated the client 'completed 247.5 hours of community service' at a Calumet City daycare facility."

The indictment was filed Aug. 26 and a warrant was issued for Luster's arrest. She turned herself in on Aug. 28.

“Court orders are not optional, and anyone caught submitting falsified documents to the Court will face serious consequences,” DuPage County State's Attorney's Office Robert Berlin said in a statement.

Luster was later released from custody and is set to appear in court Oct. 9.
