Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2011.

Probation issued in AZ, 2011

updated on 05/16/2014

Probation means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Bernard’s comment:

“Petitioned for reinstatement. Rehabilitation proved to AZ Supreme Court. License reinstated with 2 year probation. Probation has been completed. Currently in Good Standing with AZ Supreme Court.”

Suspension issued in AZ, 2007

updated on 05/16/2014

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Bernard’s comment:

“Suspended for 6 months and one day, resulting from misrepresenting status of 2 cases to one client. Extenuating circumstances to excuse the misconduct were found.”

Censure issued in AZ, 2001

updated on 11/16/2012

Censure means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State censures the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Bernard’s comment:

“This matter was resolved by making changes to my fee agreement and by having my Attorney Trust account reviewed by the State Bar LOMAP office 3 times over the next 12 months.”
