A complaint or grievance may be initiated by just about anyone – a
client, opposing counsel, a judge, a party, a witness, an insurance company employee, a banker, a closing agent, or even someone totally uninvolved in a matter or case.
Whether you have already been contacted by the FBBE about a bar admissions issue or you are concerned about a possible issue, it is critical to seek legal advice now rather than later.
Appellate decisions and newspaper articles may lead to a grievance. Once received by The Florida Bar, a file is opened and, if the complaint sets forth an allegation of impropriety, a letter is sent to the attorney seeking a written
response to the complaint. The attorney facing the complaint, now known as a Respondent, must make a formal and timely response.
Even at this stage, it’s critical to have an experienced bar defense lawyer at your side.
Whether you have already been contacted by the FBBE about a bar admissions issue or you are concerned about a possible issue, it is critical to seek legal advice now rather than later.
Do not fool yourself if you think
“they couldn’t possibly find out.”
The FBBE scrupulously reviews each law student’s application of admission to the bar. This includes past indiscretions. What is of particular concern is an applicant’s “character and fitness.”
Omissions on an application will only lead the board to investigate
further. Whether you are facing further inquiry or need assistance with
a “gray” area, it is always better to double-check, rather than be
scrambling when it may be too late.
Facing a Bar Complaint?
Being proactive is one of the best steps an attorney can take in preventing or mitigating a possible professional responsibility or lawyer discipline matter. If you’re unsure about the ethical ramifications of your actions, it is in your best interests to consult with an experienced legal ethics lawyer.
Seeking Counsel on
Legal Ethics?
As attorneys know, the law is not always black and white. There are often gray areas or issues that require careful legal analysis. This is true for laws that apply to lawyers.
The rules that govern members of The Florida Bar are often complicated and unclear as to their application to specific conduct or anticipated conduct.
An attorney may believe he or she is acting within the governing rules of The Florida Bar but actually is not or requires another attorney’s opinion on a certain scenario.
David Rothman can analyze the facts surrounding your issue and provide many legal ethics services, including:
• Issuing an expert opinion
• Providing expert testimony
• Drafting an opinion letter
• Advising on how to handle the ethics matter
• Advising on how to render a situation ethical
Ignoring a legal issue is tantamount
to ignoring a serious health condition.
Hoping it will go away could be dangerous.
Do not stick your head in the sand. Consult on legal
ethics today with our AV Pre-eminent® rated,* Board-Certified criminal trial lawyer.
