This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority.
updated on 02/21/2019
Public reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.
Adan's comment:“This was a paid consultation with few options. Afterward, a document was signed declining my legal services. After they left, I was able to find a solution and contacted them with the option. They agreed to retain/pay but then did not contact me for 17 months. They then demanded I provide my work product for free and filed a complaint. The state bar deemed that a relationship existed and I had to provide my work product for free. My office never received compensation from them.”
