Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2004.

Public Reprimand issued in TX, 2004

updated on 12/03/2012

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.

Stephen’s comment:

“Please feel free to review the Texas Lawyer Article on this matter. It provides details of the case and the very positive results achieved for this client. That article can be found through the Texas Lawyer web-site search engine.”
