Posted by Jim | August 24, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Frances stepped in and helped me in a time of urgent need

I had been falsely accused of a crime and I was working with a different attorney who was taking my case in the wrong direction. On recommendation of a friend I called Frances. She immediately recognized what had to be done and proved my innocence! Frances worked aggressively for me but was always ca...lm, professional, courteous, and above all very caring.

Professional misconduct

This 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.
