Facts: Our client GS, hired our law firm to assist her in disclosing a recent criminal conviction to the Board. Our firm drafted and submitted a disclosure of the conviction along with witness statements and other character evidence that showed that GS was still fit to practice in Texas. Our firm further argued that this conviction was an isolated incident and not indicative of future conduct.
Outcome: After the self-disclosure was received by the Board, GS’s matter went through the standard process. Based on the self-disclosure and the other character evidence, the Board determined that GS’s matter did not warrant disciplinary action. An investigation was never initiated, and GS’s license was never sanctioned.
