Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2022.
Disbarment issued in NC, 2022
updated on 03/09/2022Disbarment is the most serious penalty for a lawyer. If this attorney is currently practicing law, you should contact the North Carolina State Bar to understand the reasons for disbarment.
Censure issued in NC, 2014
updated on 10/16/2018This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
Tiffany’s comment:
“Being a zealous advocate for my client is all I am guilty of. I have maintained my professionalism throughout these false accusations. Integrity is key to my legal practice. I will continue to fight for justice! I Love the practice of Law and I uphold my professionalism at all times.”
