Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2011.

Public Reprimand issued in SC, 2011

updated on 06/10/2017

Public 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.

David’s comment:

“Technical record keeping issue settled by agreement more than six (6) years ago.”
