Facts: Our client, JD, hired us to defend him against a state bar grievance filed by a former client. The attorney’s client was making unfounded allegations of misconduct and the client’s reputation and career were at stake. JD needed aggressive legal representation to help him protect his state bar license and demonstrate these claims had no merit.
Outcome: The Firm collected and evaluated the documentation necessary to show how this former client was biased and wrongfully filed the grievance against JD. We submitted a robust response packet which meticulously and adroitly addressed each claim, showing the state bar why it lacked merit both factually and legally. After the office of the chief disciplinary counsel completed their investigation, they took the matter before a summary disposition panel and recommended it be dismissed because the grievance lacked just cause. The summary disposition panel agreed, and JD’s grievance was completely dismissed without any action taken against his bar license.
