Rating:  9.4 (Superb)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1999.

Reprimand issued in MD, 1999

updated on 09/29/2017

Reprimand means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State warns the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Keith’s comment:

“I self reported an incident of potential client contact for which I agreed to a reprimand. This occurred 20 years ago.”
