Attorney Disciplinary Defense

Although lawyers advocate for their clients daily, sometimes they and Judges find themselves in need of someone to advocate for them. Approximately 12,000 grievance complaints are filed against attorneys in New York each year. Although many are dismissed after investigations by the Attorney Grievance Committees or, the attorneys are privately disciplined, obtaining those results are not by chance. Often such results are end products of attorneys timely retaining counsel to represent them.
