The Need for State Bar Defense Counsel

Because a State Bar complaint can result in disciplinary action ranging from reproval to license probation, suspension, or even disbarment, (and reciprocal discipline in the Federal Courts), there is no substitute for creativity and experience in defending our clients’ careers. Thus, our attorney clients benefit from our experience and expertise in evaluating and aggressively defending charges against them, in addition to demonstrating appropriate remorse, rehabilitation, and fitness to practice one’s profession when appropriate.
