This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2018.
Reprimand issued in MI, 2018
updated on 10/14/2019Reprimand 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.
“This action taken against me was very unfortunate. My record was untarnished for the first 22 years of my career (i.e. 1996 - 2018). Then in taking on a big Police Misconduct Case in Federal Court, very late in the case and just prior to trial, opposing counsel decided to file a grievance against me for a matter that the court had handled. When asked on the record why, they stated that the MI State Bar Discipline Board advised them that if they did not, then they would be subject to discipline.”
