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.
John’s comment: “I self-reported to the bar after my CPA advised me that my then partner's accounting practices were not in technical compliance with bar standards. Although my clients' funds were always fully secure, I was on the partnership account with him. So we were both sanctioned as the account was in both names. After learning of my partner's violation, I promptly severed the partnership.”

I have worked with John McKindles as opposing counsel in family law cases and was very impressed with his level of knowledge and expertise.

John McKindles and I met one another as opposing counsel in a litigation matter years ago. John had such an amazing style - kind, yet aggressive. We became "friendly" through litigation when most adversaries tend to lose sight of professionalism. John and I have now gone on to work together, to refer business to one another, and to trust each other. I definitely endorse John and would trust my own needs in his practice. He is a great lawyer and a true professional.
