Professional integrity

I had a challenging experience with [Lawyer's Name]. I noticed that he often seems to blend personal and professional matters, which can sometimes create conflicts of interest. For example, he has assisted some of his personal acquaintances, including his girlfriends, with divorce matters. This raise...d some concerns for me about his ability to provide impartial and unbiased legal advice. Additionally, I learned that he is advising his mistress to ignore a cease and desist letter, which further complicates the situation and shows a lack of clear boundaries between his personal and professional life. This behavior made me feel that his professional integrity was compromised. While I understand the complexities of personal relationships, I feel it’s important to work with an attorney who can maintain a clear separation between personal matters and their professional responsibilities. Based on my experience, I would encourage others to carefully consider these factors when choosing a lawyer

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2016.

Reprimand issued in CT, 2016

updated on 12/19/2016

A 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.
