Facts: Our client K.C., faced a complaint filed by her former employer alleging that she violated the Texas Administrative Code by creating a dual relationship with a former client. The Executive Council pursued the matter through the investigative phase and argued that our client should not have entered into a business relationship with her former client.

Outcome: Through vigorous negotiations with staff counsel, Bertolino LLP was able to secure a non-disciplinary reprimand for our client. The reprimand required the completion of a few continuing education courses. The matter was closed and with no public record.
