Private reproval, public disclosure issued in CA, 2009
updated on 10/03/2014Private reproval, public disclosure means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar warns the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
“The State Bar decision is available here: http://members.calbar.ca.gov/fal/Member/Detail/43067. After favorable witness and client testimony, a private reproval was imposed. The Court found I provided “admirable legal representation under very difficult circumstances not of [my] own making, consistently put [my] clients’ best interest first, and dealt with [my] clients in good faith” and witnesses “described [me] as honest, having integrity, and being of high moral character.””
