Facts: Our client FJ, hired firm to assist him in disclosing a recent criminal conviction to the Board. The firm drafted and submitted a disclosure of the conviction along with several witness statements and other character evidence that showed that FJ was still fit to practice in Texas. The 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, FJ’s matter went through the standard process. Based on the self-disclosure and the other character evidence, the Board determined that FJ’s matter did not warrant disciplinary action. An investigation was never initiated, and FJ’s license was never sanctioned.
