Public Reprimand issued in SC, 2011
updated on 07/19/2017Public reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.
Michael’s comment:
“This public reprimand was the unfortunate result of my failure to review the advertising content that a marketing company placed on my website. The reprimand is permanent and I cannot change it, but I have learned from my mistake. I will continue to diligently represent my clients' interests, and I hope that the public understands the nature of the reprimand and that it does not reflect on my dedication to my clients.”
