Replied last October 13, 2022We pride ourselves on using the available law to help our clients achieve the best results possible under the facts of their particular situation. When the facts and the law are on our client's side, we can be tenacious in our advocacy. When it is not so clear that the law and facts will result in a victory, we try to help clients fully appreciate the risks and to make good decisions to mitigate risk. For this particular client, the facts and law repeatedly lined up so that we could obtain great results for the client. However, not every case can or should be litigated.

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2007.
Reprimand issued in CT, 2007
updated on 11/11/2021A reprimand is an order from the Statewide Grievance Committee after it has found that an attorney has engaged in ethical misconduct. If an attorney receives more than 3 reprimands in 5 years, a presentment must be filed against the attorney so the Superior Court can decide if more serious discipline should be ordered.
Myles’s comment:
“This "reprimand" is a badge of honor. In a decade-long superfund case we represented the many dozens of impacted families. We obtained justice for our clients. Before we obtained justice, there were threats from the then sitting governor (later jailed) and a dismissal of the case (reversed by the Connecticut Supreme Court). A judge was offended by our accurate report to our clients during that case, and the reprimand followed. I was later elected chair of the CBA Prof. Discipline Section.”
