Reprimand/Probation issued in MN, 2012
updated on 06/28/2013Reprimand/probation 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.

Jonathan’s comment:
“This reprimand resulted from the behavior of a former employee of the law firm.”
