Patrick Walter Begos's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I refer many matters to Attorney Begos. In addition to being an extremely competent litigator, he is able to work with his clients to get the best possible result in the most cost-effective manner. He can play hardball when the situation warrants it, but will work to settle disputes where an early resolution is in the client's best interests."
"Patrick Begos is a highly intelligent, experienced, creative, and rational attorney, a combination that renders him unique among his counterparts. Were I to have a business litigation or similar matter that required attention in Connecticut, he is the first lawyer whom I would consult. As he also practices in New York, where my practice is based, if I were to have a conflict of interest so that I could not represent a client in a case, I would have absolutely no hesitation in referring such a client to Patrick, as I know that client would be in the best possible hands."

Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2014.
Reciprocal - Censure issued in NY, 2014
updated on 08/03/2016This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in New York.
Reprimand issued in CT, 2013
updated on 07/29/2016A 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.
