State Bar Defense Law
The attorneys in Simas & Associates, Ltd. have been defending the livelihoods of licensed professionals since 2002. Our experienced team has saved the licenses of professionals ranging from physicians and optometrists to accountants and insurance brokers. Because the State Bar investigates over 10,000 California attorneys each year, Simas & Associates, Ltd.’s attorneys share the experience and creativity we have gleaned from defending all types of licensed professionals with our attorney colleagues.
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.
Simas & Associates, Ltd. brings years of administrative law and professional licensing experience to facing the State Bar of California in all of the following stages of the State Bar Discipline Process:
- Moral character inquiries and petitions for reinstatement
- Ethics violations
- Investigations of State Bar complaints
- Pre-filing settlements and conferences
- Rigorous defense in State Bar Court
- Appeals to State Bar Review Department
- Substance abuse, drugs, and alcohol problems
