Gilbert G. Lundstrom voluntarily surrendered his law license on September 13, 2018, after being convicted of 12 felony counts of fraud in the U.S. District Court for Nebraska, resulting in a 132-month prison sentence and restitution obligations. The Nebraska Supreme Court accepted his voluntary surrender and entered a judgment of disbarment. Lundstrom acknowledged that the Counsel for Discipline could pursue disciplinary action against him and waived his right to notice, hearing, or contesting the allegations related to his criminal convictions.

The court confirmed that Lundstrom's voluntary surrender complied with Nebraska disciplinary rules, which allow for such an action when a member admits to or does not contest the truth of the allegations against them. Consequently, the court ordered immediate disbarment, effective upon acceptance of the surrender. Lundstrom is required to fulfill all obligations under the disciplinary rules and must pay associated costs and expenses within 60 days after a related order is issued. The judgment of disbarment was finalized by the court.
