Litigation lawyer
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2015.
Public Reprimand issued in UT, 2015
updated on 10/23/2018This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
“My client wished to settle claims against his prior lawyers based on their breach of fiduciary duties owed to him. One of the terms he offered was to not provide documentation of their ethical breaches to the Bar, and to withhold consent for me to do so. The prior lawyers asserted that the offer not to report their misconduct was itself a breach of professional rules, and Bar counsel agreed. Although I disagreed with Bar counsel's conclusion, I accepted it and stipulated to a reprimand.”
