Don't Be Foolish. Hire Anthony When Faced with a Bar Complaint.

Unfortunately, I have been subject to two bar reviews. In both instances, Anthony represented me with both matters closed after initial responses prepared by Anthony. He knows and understands the Bar process and procedures. He understands the nuances of the investigative process and counsels keeps... his clients away from potential pitfalls that may not seem obvious to someone unfamiliar with these types of matters. Don't handle these matters yourself. Hire counsel. More particularly, hire Anthony Radogna.

Hire Mr. Radogna if the CA Bar sends you the initial letter or files charges against you - Period!

I received an inquiry letter from the CA Bar. Instead of initially submitting a claim through my insurance carrier, I let my ego get the better of me and tried to handle it myself. BIG MISTAKE. Don't let your own ego get the best of you - like it did with me. Mr. Radogna focuses on CA Bar defense... - I don't - he knows and understands the process and how to resolve matters without further escalation, and ultimately reach a positive resolution - which was the final result in my case. By the way, I then contacted my carrier for financial coverage of this matter and my carrier wanted to assign its own panel defense counsel - who happened to be a legal malpractice attorney. I declined the carrier's choice because the defense attorney had limited experience in specifically handling CA Bar cases. After thorough research and discovering Mr. Radogna, I then interviewed him personally - which was more of a cross-examination as opposed to a general Q & A. He was the right choice - Period!

Excellent Attorney! Excellent Outcome!

The moment I read the complaint letter from the State Bar i had a panic attack. I immediately contacted Mr. Radogna and consulted with him via telephone regarding the complaint. The very next day I was at his office interfacing with him regarding my matter. After a very lengthy conversation he ga...ve me the confidence to hire him. He answered all my concerns and was honest throughout the whole process. My case was resolved with an excellent outcome! Moreover, the relationship he has with the State Bar investigators gives him an advantage over other attorneys. I highly recommend that if you are facing disciplinary action by the State Bar, the attorney you should call is Anthony P. Radogna.

Excellent job!

I hired Anthony Radogna after consulting with him for CA State Bar defense. Mr. Radogna gave me the confidence to hire him after discussing the legal issues. I consulted with other attorneys, but his approach and understanding of the process made me feel secure. I faced multiple bar complaints, had t...he most aggressive investigator (that’s what all the lawyers I consulted with said), and needed to keep my license especially since there were close calls for the bar. Mr. Radogna was able to explain to the bar my defenses, and guided the other legal issues appropriately for potential further litigation. There were many issues to deal with in each complaint, and he successfully defended me. He knows the law and procedure and that kept me at ease even though having these issues hanging over your head is tough. I didn’t know who to hire, but I am glad I hired him and believe attorneys dealing with an investigation should consult with Anthony at a minimum. The communication was excellent, and the legal fees were reasonable. He certainly knows how the bar operates and what steps to take and not take. I highly recommend that anyone needing an attorney hire Mr. Radogna. Don’t try defending yourself. I know we are attorneys, but don’t risk inadvertently taking a wrong step.

Excellent attorney against the bar

Anthony represented me against the state for a complaint. He was always available for me to talk to. I tried representing myself and that didn’t go well. I did nothing but they were still trying to make a case. Anthony took over and cleared it up with no problem. He amazing and I was so grateful that... I found him. I recommend him to all my colleagues. He worked for the state bar so he knows how they operate.
